Pep Guardiola delivers hilarious moment in press conference after Man City beat Brentford

Pep Guardiola has launched a hilariously desperate plea ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash tomorrow.

Guardiola’s men prevailed in today’s Premier League match against Brentford — a comprehensive 3-0 victory that didn’t reflect an initially cagey opening 60 minutes.

Jérémy Doku opened the scoring with a stunning curler into the net’s upper echelons, a near-perfect mirror image of his late equaliser against Everton in last Monday’s 3-3 draw.

Arsenal will visit a relegation-battling West Ham tomorrow with just three games remaining in the Premier League title race, looking to extend their current two-point lead at the top.

As the Cityzens seek to return to Premier League glory — after Liverpool’s 2024/25 title win disrupted a Guardiola-led four-peat — the Manchester City coach launched a hilarious plea directed at West Ham ahead of their clash with Arsenal tomorrow.

Pep Guardiola's hilarious post-match plea

Speaking after the match to reporters, the Spaniard animatedly yelled “Come on you Irons” before departing from the conference.

West Ham, currently placed 18th in the Premier League table, are fighting for survival in a tense race with Tottenham Hotspur, with both London clubs separated by just one point in their respective quests to avoid the drop-zone.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have taken seven points from their last four games, including a late 2-1 victory over Everton and a crushing 4-0 win against already-relegated Wolves.

West Ham have prior experience in knocking Arsenal out of title races, notably holding the Gunners to a 2-2 draw — in which Bukayo Saka missed a crucial penalty — in April 2023 during the first of Mikel Arteta's many failed Premier League title charges.

A similar story unfolded in early 2025 as Liverpool looked to secure their second Premier League title in 35 years, with Jarrod Bowen firing West Ham to a 1-0 victory against a ten-men Arsenal side.

And in the season between, the Irons helped see Manchester City to the final Premier League title win of their historic four-peat by beating Mikel Arteta's men 2-0 at the Emirates, courtesy of goals from Konstantinos Mavrapanos and Tomáš Souček.

In each of those campaigns, Arsenal finished in the table's second position, falling narrowly twice to Manchester City and once to a rejuvenated Liverpool team seeking glory under new manager Arne Slot.

West Ham, never more in need of a victory, have just three remaining games to overcome Tottenham Hotspur in a relegation battle shaping up to be just as tight as the race at the top of the table — and a result in the derby has evidently become common for the Irons in recent years.

Guardiola’s side will surely be watching tomorrow, hoping for history to repeat itself, with the Spanish coach now making his West Ham allegiance known to reporters.

Manchester City return to Premier League action next Wednesday as they take on Crystal Palace at home, in what is quickly shaping up to be one of the competition’s all-time tightest title races.
