Manchester City are on the cusp of history and could claim a historic treble in the Champions League on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola warns Man City over past slips on cusp of clinching Premier League title
19.05.2023 - 13:59 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola has challenged Manchester City to wrap up the Premier League with two games to spare.
City will be crowned champions on Saturday if Arsenal lose to Nottingham Forest but a win against Chelsea the following day will confirm it regardless of other results. If they cannot clinch it then, there are opportunities at Brighton and Brentford next week to get the three points required.
Last season was the first time in Guardiola's time at the Etihad that they have clinched the title at home. The Blues were 2-0 down to Aston Villa on the final day but recovered to win and pip Liverpool.

Back in 2018 City wasted an opportunity to win it when they played United in April, and they did so again in 2021 when Chelsea beat them - albeit that was played in front of an empty stadium owing to Covid restrictions. Guardiola is keen to avoid another slip as they prepare to face Chelsea on Sunday.
"The memories that I remember are when we played against United to win the league and were 2-0 up at half-time and lost the game. Against Aston Villa, we were 20 minutes away from losing the game," he said.
"The last one is the most difficult because emotions are many things. You have to control it. We cannot be distracted or we will not forgive ourselves. We have to focus on every single game until the end of the season to finish well.
"On Sunday, the game is in our hands to win the most important competition. It's every week for ten or eleven months. We're lucky to have the chance to finish at home with our people. We have to take it."
