Guardiola promises Burnley players a Rolex watch if they stop Arsenal
As the end of the Premier League draws near, excitement is growing about who will be crowned champions. According to all predictions, the most likely champion will be Arsenal, who are first in the table with two points more than second-placed Manchester City.
This means that Mikel Arteta's team has everything in hand and they need two wins in the remaining two rounds to win the title.
First, they will host Burnley on May 18 and then visit Crystal Palace on May 24. Burnley have already been relegated, while Crystal Palace also have no necessary results, which is in Arsenal's favor.
City manager Pep Guardiola believes a relaxed Burnley could complicate the battle for the top of the table. The team recently tormented Manchester City and took a point against Aston Villa (2-2), although they were already underrated and without a necessary result.
Because of this, Guardiola is said to be relying on a highly motivated Burnley in the duel against Arsenal, and English media are also writing about an additional motivational move.

According to these reports, Guardiola is said to have promised Burnley players a luxury Rolex watch if they manage to stop Arsenal and thus help City in the title fight. Although this information seems unusual, it quickly caused numerous reactions in the public.
While some believe this is an exaggeration and a media construct, others point out that Guardiola often uses psychological methods to further motivate his rivals' opponents at key moments of the season. /Telegraph
