Arsenal handed potential Premier League title boost as questions emerge over major Man City star

Arsenal fans are enjoying life at the moment, with Mikel Arteta's side currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table.

The Gunners find themselves five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have also played an extra league match this term and the two sides will battle it out at the Emirates Stadium next Wednesday. The Citizens haven't been as imperious as in years gone by, becoming extremely reliant on striker Erling Haaland for goals.

Haaland, who joined City in the summer, is well on his way to breaking the record for most Premier League goals scored in one season, already notching 25 league goals - just seven shy of the record held by Mohamed Salah's 2017/18 campaign. However, his form in recent weeks has come into question, with one Spanish publication, Defensa Central, going as far as saying the Norwegian international has not 'tuned in' to the methods deployed by City manager Pep Guardiola as of yet.
