Winning only option, Man City coach says
Pep Guardiola ramped up the pressure on his players ahead of Manchester City's clash with Tottenham today.
With two games to go in the Premier League season, defending champion City needs to pick up maximum points to be certain of winning the title. And with rival Arsenal leading the standings by a point, having played a game more, Guardiola left his players in no doubt about what is required to win a record fourth-straight title.
“The mindset is easy because if we don't win, we don't win the Premier League,” he said.
The title race will go down to the last day of the season after Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday to move above City at the top of the standings.
But City will be in control of its destiny and move two points clear at the top if it wins at Tottenham.

“We were approached by the family to put these pieces up for auction, and the reason is unknown to us,” said Eli Fayon, a Christie's watches specialist.
