Home sweet home for Pep
Pep Guardiola admits he is delighted to have a home game this weekend.
City take on Brentford on Saturday, 9 May (17:30 kick-off UK) as we bid to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points.
It’s almost three weeks since the Blues beat the Gunners 2-1 at the Etihad, with away games against Burnley, Southampton and Everton sandwiched in-between.
Now the boss is hoping the City fans can help make it an enjoyable and buoyant 90 minutes against the Europa League-chasing Bees.

“We play at 3pm and it’s a long time since the last game against Arsenal,” said Pep.
“I love to play at home, hopefully [our people] can come and put pressure on Arsenal by helping us win our games. That’s all we can do.”
The boss was also asked about Jeremy Doku’s red-hot form, particularly over the last few months.
The Belgian bagged two spectacular goals against Everton, with his second rescuing what could be a crucial point deep into added time.
Asked what he believed was the reason in his step up in goals and productivity, Pep joked: “[It’s because of] the manager, always!
