Manchester City are creeping being Arsenal. Even though the Gunners are still top of the table, the reigning champions have two games in hand – and will be guaranteed the title if they win all the remaining games. The crucial one is Wednesday night’s head-to-head duel between the top two clubs. Arsenal strung three draws, dropping six points – and they need to produce the best performance of the season if they are to return to the driving seat. But the London team will have to overcome not only a fantastic team, but also a hostile atmosphere.🗣️ “Hopefully all of Etihad will be full three hours before the game.”Pep Guardiola calls on the Manchester City fans to create a big atmosphere against Arsenal 🏟️ pic.twitter.com/JvukTAuut3— Football Daily (@footballdaily) April 24, 2023 Pep Guardiola urged the home fans to come three hours before kick-off, pack the stadium and bring the noise.”Of course, the momentum is key, it doesn’t matter if you play every three or four days if you are winning. It’s important the final we have on Wednesday – it is a final – against a team who has been the best team in England so far. They are five points ahead of us. Hopefully, all of Manchester that day will be blue, and they can come to support us.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7198458##The atmosphere at Manchester City’s home games has been ridiculed for a long time by rival fan groups in England. The stadium is never quite full, and the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Empty seats, subdued chants and a mood more suited to a library than a football match have been a source for jokes and memes at City’s expense for years. But Guardiola wants that to change.”We need incredible noise from the first minute to the last as I know which opponent we will play against. Even though they draw in the last three games, the way they play is difficult to stop. You must read exactly what you must do, but it’s a massively important game for us. If we win, it’s a step to getting it completely in our hands. The Premier League is 11 months, working, working. We have this opportunity and we want to take it. I hope the whole Etihad will be full three hours before.”Make sure you’re with Mozzart Sport Kenya on Wednesday night for unrivalled coverage of the big game – match preview, live coverage, players ratings and all you need to know!
