Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola says Sunday's match against Watford is effectively a "final" for his side as they look to seal a third-place finish in the Premier League.

Man City, currently two points ahead of fourth-placed Liverpool and three clear of Arsenal in fifth, will finish third and guarantee automatic qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League should they win on the final day.

"It's a crucial game for us, absolutely a final," he told mancity.com. "Just look at we have to do, win the game against a team who at home over the season made a good result.

"Every game is pressure, every game we play with everything. It's in our hands. It depends not on Arsenal or Liverpool. We have to go there and win the game."
