Manchester City Close Gap to Six Points
Pep Guardiola has challenged his Manchester City squad to deliver a definitive blow to Arsenal’s title aspirations as the gap at the top of the table narrows to just six points. Following a dominant second-half display against Chelsea, the Spaniard insists that next Sunday’s Etihad encounter represents a season-defining "final" in their pursuit of the trophy.

The title-chasers capitalised on one of their two games in hand by dismantling Chelsea in a ruthless second-half performance, significantly increasing the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s league leaders. This victory ensures that the deficit at the summit is now reduced to six points, with City still holding an additional game in hand to potentially close the gap further.
