Premier League in Manchester City's hands after Arsenal win - Guardiola

Pep Guardiola said the Premier League title race has finally swung Manchester City's way after they thrashed Arsenal 4-1.

Guardiola insisted for weeks that Arsenal are favourites, but after moving to within two points of Mikel Arteta's side with two games in hand, he changed course and said City are now in pole position to win a fifth title in six years.

Arsenal still top the table, but asked whose position he would rather be in, Guardiola said: "Absolutely my position now, because it's in our hands. We have to win the games in hand, but it depends on us.
