"We're still there, knowing that if we drop points it will be over. West Ham are battling at the other end in the table and find themselves in the relegation zone, below 17th-placed Nottingham Forest on goal difference only. However, their results have improved lately and the Hammers have lost just one of their past five Premier League matches."
"I've always said when we arrive in the last 10 games every team plays for something - for relegation, for Europa League, for Conference League, for Champions League, to be champions. It's normal, every game. Now there are no second chances."
"Tomorrow night, we have a game, an important one for the Premier League position. Then we have the second leg. It is a pleasure to be here. Last season we could not reach this stage, so it is nice."
Manchester City faces West Ham in a crucial Premier League match, with manager Pep Guardiola emphasizing that dropping points would end their title hopes. City trails Arsenal by seven points but has a game in hand, with nine matches remaining compared to Arsenal's eight. The teams will meet again at Etihad Stadium on April 19. West Ham, currently in the relegation zone, has improved recently with only one loss in their last five matches. Guardiola stressed that all teams fight for something in the final ten games, whether for relegation, European qualification, or the title. City must refocus on the Premier League after losing 3-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League last-16, with the return leg scheduled for Tuesday.
