Reigning champs City have won just 15 of their 22 matches, along with three draws and four losses. Driven by Haaland's goal-scoring heroics, the Citizens have a positive goal difference of 34 goals to date. A win tonight would put City (48 points) level on points with Arsenal (51 points), although the Gunners would still have a game in hand.
