Manchester City welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in a match that could prove pivotal in the Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola's side were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday, missing the chance to overtake Arsenal. The Gunners now lead by five points, though City have a game in hand.

Guardiola said at his pre-match press conference: "Put pressure on Arsenal winning our games. That's all we have to do. All we can do."

Arsenal face a tough London derby at West Ham United on Sunday, with the Hammers fighting relegation. Mikel Arteta urged his players to stay focused: "The full focus and attention now has to be put into West Ham."

After Brentford, City host Crystal Palace on Wednesday, then travel to Chelsea and Bournemouth before entertaining Aston Villa on the final day.

Arsenal's remaining fixtures are West Ham, relegated Burnley, and Crystal Palace. They also have a Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30.

Guardiola hopes Rodri could return from injury for the Brentford game, while Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are nearing full fitness.

Brentford will be without Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo due to knee injuries. Rico Henry and Jordon Henderson are doubts.
