"Pep Guardiola has claimed his side's chances of catching the Gunners will be over if they do not take all three points at the London Stadium, making the game a must-win in the eyes of the City boss."
"His comments come as City's hopes of a quadruple took a rather significant set-back as they were held by Nottingham Forest in the league before falling to a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 in midweek."
"Following an upturn in fortunes under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the Hammers - currently in 18th - are level on points with Forest in 17th and can move out of the drop zone with a win, although they have not beaten City in over a decade."
