Regarding the Arsenal clash, Guardiola expressed interest in watching the game, but only to the extent that it might affect the title race. He stated, "I will take a look for sure. But the job to see what I have to show the players about Bournemouth is still not done, so we'll see."

Guardiola emphasized the importance of arriving at the end of the season with options, rather than relying on a single outcome. He expressed his desire to extend the title race for four or five more days, with the ultimate goal of winning the league.

Bournemouth boasts the longest Premier League unbeaten run this season, with 16 games without a loss. Guardiola acknowledged the difficulty of facing Bournemouth, citing their strong performance last season and their current preparations for the match.

Guardiola noted that Bournemouth has had 10 days to prepare for the game, while City has had only three days to recover from the FA Cup final. He expressed confidence in Bournemouth's ability to perform well, given their 17-game unbeaten streak.

Guardiola's team is aware that winning the game against Bournemouth is crucial to their chances of winning the league. He stated, "The only chance we have (to win the league) is to win the game so we have to break that run, otherwise it will be over."
