Rodri has warned one slip-up could end Manchester City’s dreams of creating Premier League history.

A fourth consecutive league title would make Pep Guardiola’s side the most successful team ever and victory against Arsenal on Sunday would mean they leapfrog the Gunners in the tightest three-way race for years.

But midfielder Rodri, who is renowned for his emotional speeches in the City dressing room, warned defeat could all but end their hopes.

‘It’s not just this game that’s like a final, it’s all of them until the end of the season,’ said the Spaniard.

‘We’re still in every competition, but any game that you lose can practically leave you out of the running.

‘That’s the level this league demands from you, to reach between 90 and 100 points to be able to win it. So we have to win practically every game and that starts against Arsenal.

‘We have the experience from previous years in managing these situations. This is the moment to give everything. We must win and we must win with our philosophy.’
