0-1 to 4-1! Manchester City crushed Arsenal at home and won the championship, and Haaland was unstoppable
The Premier League will be back in action this week with Manchester City hosting Arsenal in an eye-catching battle for Tianwang Mountain. The two sides are currently tied on 46 points, with Arsenal having seven more goal difference than Manchester City and temporarily topping the table. The last two meetings between the two sides were 0-1 and 4-1 respectively, and Manchester City's determination to win at home is very strong.
Judging from the head-to-head records between the two sides, Manchester City can be said to crush Arsenal, and the two sides have won 12 of the last 13 Premier League games against Manchester City, with a very high winning rate. Manchester City have won their last seven Premier League home games, with the last time the Blues lost at home was back in January 2015.
After the international break, City are recovering well from injury, with Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne, Akanji, Jack Grealish and Nunes all involved in training, with De Bruyne's return being an important part of the club's midfield engine, although the absence of Walker and John Stones is a cause for concern.
Manchester City will be able to reach the top by beating their opponents and will be able to take their destiny into their own hands, with Pep Guardiola leading the team to a master-apprentice duel with Mikel Arteta. The two sides have met twice this season, with Arsenal beating Manchester City on penalties in the pre-season Community Shield and a 1-0 home win at home to Manchester City in the league, with Martinelli scoring the only goal of the game.
Haaland is still the focus of this battle of Tianwang Mountain, Haaland has scored 29 goals in 34 games this season, and only needs to score one more goal to reach the 30-goal milestone. Manchester City beat Arsenal 4-1 at home last time, Haaland contributed one goal and two assists in that game, and De Bruyne also scored twice in that game, and the "Pudding Connection" is expected to bring another three points to Manchester City.
