Pep Guardiola knows the fate of the Premier League title race is in Manchester City s hands, as he urged his players to leave nothing to chance.
City head into the final day of the season in pole position, two points ahead of Arsenal and on the brink of an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title.
Guardiola s team will be champions again if they beat West Ham at home. They could still win the league with a draw, but only if Arsenal fail to beat Everton.
And Guardiola s message to his team was a clear one.
At that moment, the destiny is in our hands, he said. But if you are waiting for [Arsenal] to drop points again, you are wrong.
If you were thinking Arsenal were going to lose at Old Trafford [against Manchester United] forget about i…
Lionel Messi will make his first start of the 2019-20 season after being named in Barcelona s team to face Villarreal.
A calf injury kept Messi out of action in the early weeks of the campaign, though he came off the bench against Granada on Saturday.
Barca lost that match 2-0 and have made their worst start to a LaLiga season for 25 years as a result, taking seven points from five games.
Under pressure coach Ernesto Valverde has responded by thrusting Messi into his starting line-up, the captain replacing Carles Perez in Barca s front three.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has been named the winner of the Best FIFA Men s Coach award for 2016.
Ranieri beat off competition from Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and Portugal boss Fernando Santos to win the award.
The Italian led Leicester City to a historic Premier League triumph in 2015-16 season, leading a team that had narrowly escaped relegation a season prior to the first top-flight title in their history.
While Leicester s title defence has been largely disappointing, the Foxes sit 15th in the table and just six points clear of the relegation zone after 20 matches, their form in their maiden Champions League campaign has been impressive.
Leicester conceded just one goal in their opening five group matches, four of which they won, to…
Pep Guardiola believes the best way to defend Manchester City amid their current hearing is by winning games.
An independent hearing into City s 115 charges for alleged breaches of the Premier League s financial rules began last month.
The alleged breaches relate to a period between 2009 and 2018, and City were charged and referred to an independent commission in February 2023 after a four-year investigation.
City strongly denies the charges.
If found guilty, the club could face huge fines, points deductions and possibly even relegation from the top-flight.
Despite the severity of the potential punishment, Guardiola insists his trust in the club remains unbroken.
I m part of this club, deep inside of my bones and the best way to defend th…
Peru brought to life their Copa America campaign with a clinical 2-1 win over a blunt Colombia in Goiania on Sunday.
Colombia had the bulk of possession but lacked quality in the final third, while Peru were opportunistic with Sergio Pena s 17th-minute opener and offered a slice of fortune with Yerry Mina s own goal in the 64th minute.
La Tricolor, who had collected four points from their opening two group games and not conceded a goal, had levelled via Miguel Borja s penalty eight minutes into the second half.
Peru were routed 4-0 by defending champions Brazil in their opener, but bounced back to move into third spot in the five-team Group B, with four nations advancing.
Colombia had the first shot of the match inside the opening 60 seconds, when Duvan Z…

Since going to London in Week 5, the Buffalo Bills have just not looked right offensively. The good news is they can get back on track this week vs. the New England Patriots, who have managed only 35 points over their last four games and enter the Week 7 odds as a hefty 8.5-point home underdog on the NFL odds board.
With the Bills having averaged over 400 yards and 123 points per game in the three games before the travel, can Josh Allen and the offense dominate Sunday on the road even in poor passing conditions?
Here are my free NFL picks and predictions for Week 7 Bills at Patriots on October 22.
