Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City has requested the fans to make a lot of noise at the Etihad Stadium during their match against Arsenal, as they aim to take the lead in the Premier League title race.
Arsenal’s position has weakened lately, as they have drawn three games in a row, leaving them five points ahead of City, but having played two more games.
Guardiola informed reporters that on Wednesday they will be playing against the best team in England so far, which is currently five points ahead of them.
Although they have tied their last three games, it’s hard to stop them because of how well they play in certain parts of the game. Winning this upcoming game is crucial for us because it will give us control of our fate.
The Premier League is a lot of hard work for 11 months and we want to make the most of it. We need support from everyone and hope the Etihad stadium will be full three hours before the game.
Guardiola had previously blamed the team’s supporters for not supporting them enough. He had criticized them for staying silent during a match against Tottenham Hotspur in January, where the team made a comeback victory of 4-2.
