A rare victory at Old Trafford meant Arsenal ensured the 2023/24 Premier League title race would be decided on the final day of the season. As a result, City boast a two-point lead at the summit heading into the final day. Victory over West Ham at the Etihad will see them crowned champions for an unprecedented fourth-straight year.
Under Guardiola, City have won all seven of their final day fixtures and several of these victories were significant. The Cityzens secured two titles by winning 4-1 at Brighton in 2019 before coming from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-1 in May 2021.
Man City's ventures in the second tier at the turn of the millennium mean they have played five fewer final day Premier League games than Arsenal, with City winning just 50% of such fixtures. Of their 13 wins, nine have arrived since they were last beaten on the final day - an inconsequential 3-2 defeat at home to Norwich to wrap up 2012/13. Their only 'slip-up' since was a 1-1 draw with Swansea in 2016.
