PEP GUARDIOLA TO SKY SPORTS

On match: "Really tough opponent. His transition, set-pieces, throw-ins, we suffered in the first minutes but after that we played a really good game. Especially left side in the first half, both sides in the second.

"Jeremy [Doku] is outstanding in many things. Second half we put more players in the box, first half we didn't which is why we struggled. At the end we took a good result and keep going."

On Doku: "Looks like a final product already, of course he can improve. Always had this incredible ability to dribble and to make action and connection, it's outstanding. But now it's winning games. I'm so incredibly pleased to have a guy that brings energy and that can score goals."

On Arsenal: "We will see, that is not in our hands. We will do our job. We didn't do it perfectly with Everton. We will do our job and wait."

On players not giving up: "Everton was the real proof, 3-1 down and emotions. The second half we give away. It happened last season many times, now we're more solid but we still give away. That's football, it's how you react. I'm pleased for the way we have done it."

DAVID CLAYTON AT THE ETIHAD

So who is watching the West Ham v Arsenal game tomorrow? It’s such a huge match for both ends of the table and it’s fair to say all City fans will be supporting the Hammers for 90 minutes on Sunday afternoon. With Burnley and Crystal Palace to come, it feels like Arsenal’s last big test of this Premier League campaign and one that, if they win, will put them in a very strong position. As for West Ham, a defeat and they will be a step closer to the Championship, so they have to give everything.

ERLING HAALAND TO SKY SPORTS

On the win: "It feels good to win 3-0. We just missed the last shot on goal today. We created a lot of chances and didn't get the last shot on a lot of crosses.

"Brentford defended well. They are a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League. So we are happy."

On 26th goal of the season: "It's alright. It's been an up and down season. I am trying to do my job and 26 goals is more than last year. So it's OK."

On facing Crystal Palace: "I haven't thought of any other game. I'm just tired playing this game. How we approach the next game is to not think of any other games for two days and then try to win the next game. Recover. Then next game and the same again."

On City's title chances: "If you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day."
