However, City haven’t slipped up since the end of March. Guardiola’s side have won their last eight matches on the bounce since being held to a goalless draw by the Gunners at the end of March.
Man City have also won their last seven home league meetings with West Ham.
But if City do drop points, an Arsenal win at home to Everton would see the Premier League Trophy return to the red half of north London for the first time since the Invincibles won it in 2004.
European places
Places for next season’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) have already been finalised, with Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa finishing in the top four, although not necessarily in that order with the title-winners still to be decided. Who will fill the three other European spots is still to be resolved
Whoever finishes sixth will also qualify for a European tournament. Which competition they go into will not be confirmed until after the FA Cup final.
If Man City win the FA Cup, the Europa League place they would get for triumphing at Wembley Stadium will be transferred to sixth place as Guardiola’s side already have a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Seventh would then result in qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL).
Manchester United win the FA Cup they would take the second Europa League spot, and whoever ends up in sixth will drop into the UECL.
One of Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle United, who are away at Brentford, are most likely to finish in sixth.

A Newcastle win at Brentford and a defeat for Chelsea would see seventh-placed Newcastle leapfrog the Blues into sixth spot.
Eighth-placed Man Utd can match current occupiers Chelsea’s current 60-point tally if they win at Brighton & Hove Albion and Pochettino’s side lose.
But Man Utd have a significantly worse goal difference (-3 compared with Chelsea’s +13) so they would also need a remarkable swing in that respect to finish above Chelsea, along with dropped points for Newcastle.
