Manchester City's Pep Guardiola is already dreaming about a potential treble and has selected the most important of the three trophies that the Cityzens can win this season

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has selected what he believes to be the most important trophy available to the Cityzens as they chase a potential treble. 

Manchester City favourites to complete historic treble

The Mancunians are in with a chance of winning the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League, and the FA Cup at the end of the season, which will make them the first team to achieve this since 1999 when Manchester United recorded similar success. 

Although Manchester City have been made favourites to complete the treble by a supercomputer, manager, Guardiola has selected one of the three trophies on offer as the most important one for Manchester City to win this season.

The Spanish manager believes that winning the Premier League is the most important one to show the team’s quality, as it is a competition that has gone on non-stop for 38 Gameweeks. 

Speaking ahead of Manchester City’s potential title-winning match against Chelsea, Guardiola said, "The Premier League is the most important competition because it's over 10, 11 months. We are lucky to be at home with our people to take it. 

"The last one is the most difficult because there are a lot of emotions. We would not forgive ourselves if we became distracted."

Manchester City could claim the Premier League if Arsenal do not beat Nottingham Forest

Manchester City could win the Premier League this weekend if they beat Chelsea and get a favourable result in the match between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, and if they end up winning the Premier League, Guardiola will be most pleased.

Guardiola backed his team to see out the title challenge and avoid getting distracted and letting the league slip from their grasp. 

The ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach said, "Emotions are many things, we cannot be distracted. We will not forgive ourselves. Focus on every single game until the end of the season to finish well.

"We have done it against Arsenal, Liverpool, United, the big teams at home. We feel we are strong, confident with our people."

If Manchester City win the treble, it will be the cherry on top of a season where they have had to reinvent themselves and it could start with winning the Premier League this weekend.
