Erling Haaland scored from the penalty spot and continues to lead the Premier League scorers with 22 goals. On 35 minutes, Haaland scored twice with a header and Rodri provided an assist to give Manchester City a two-goal lead.

Manchester City have three more league games to play, away to Fulham, away to Tottenham and home to West Ham United, according to Manchester City's form, the next bit of difficulty is the away game against Tottenham, because Pep Guardiola has lost four visits to Tottenham in the Premier League in the past and has not scored a goal. Manchester City only need to complete nine consecutive wins to win the title, and it doesn't have to be up to Arsenal to see how it goes.

Due to Liverpool's early withdrawal from the title race, Arsenal is the only team that can threaten Manchester City in the next schedule, Arsenal will next challenge Manchester United away and Everton at home, Arsenal has a high probability of ending the season with a full win record, then Manchester City can achieve four consecutive Premier League titles as long as they do their best.
