Manchester City kept the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Erling Haaland took his goal tally to 23 in 22 games this season while Phil Foden continued his fine goalscoring form.
Mikel Arteta’s men moved five points clear on Saturday evening thanks to a fortunate 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Pep Guardiola’s side stayed right behind them with another win. Since losing to Newcastle at the end of November, City have picked up maximum points in the Premier League.
The weekend’s results mean City remain in second place, one point above Aston Villa, who also won at West Ham United. Here, The Manchester Evening News takes a look at City’s upcoming run of Premier League fixtures compared to some of their title rivals..
