Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said Manchester City have the destiny of the Premier League title in their hands after a 4-0 demolition of Fulham took them to the top of the table on Saturday.
Josko Gvardiol bagged the opener and the defender struck again after Phil Foden’s goal before Julian Alvarez’s stoppage-time penalty sealed a commanding performance at Craven Cottage.
“Since they (Arsenal) lost against Aston Villa the destiny is in our hands,” Guardiola said.
“In the last game of the season against West Ham the destiny is in our hands and that is what we want. It will be difficult but we are ready for the challenge.”
City overcame an eight-point deficit in the title race last season to catch Arsenal and take the trophy.
They have also come out on top in tense title races with Liverpool during Guardiola’s dynastic reign.
