Manchester City is keeping a close watch on Arsenal as both teams vie for the top position in the Premier League. Following City’s impressive 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on December 17 at Selhurst Park, they remain just one point behind Arsenal, who secured a narrow 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers the previous day.
Man City’s Solid Performance
Erling Haaland was the standout player, scoring twice and elevating his season total to 23 goals in 22 matches.
