Pep Guardiola has told Manchester City fans to “behave” if they win the Premier League title on Sunday.
City are one point clear at the top of the table heading into the final game of the season against Aston Villa.
Guardiola’s comments came in the wake of incidents involving Everton and Nottingham Forest fans.
On Tuesday, Sheffield United star Billy Sharp was attacked by an opposition fan following the Championship play-off second leg at Nottingham Forest.
Then, on Thursday night, Crystal Palace Coach Patrick Vieira had an altercation with an Everton fan as they invaded the pitch to celebrate their team’s survival in the Premier League.
With City being huge favourites to secure a victory and retain their title, Guardiola has cautioned the fans to be weary of such dangerous situations.
“They have to be careful, what happened at Goodison and Port Vale and other games – the Championship semi-final – a lot of emotions and happiness,” Guardiola told reporters.
“It is a dangerous situation and we have to try to behave as good as possible.
“Have the celebration at the right moment. It’s dangerous, I understand Patrick because you never know how people will react.”
