How much is it feasible for Haaland and Manchester City to win the league title?
Manchester City will face Arsenal on Sunday in a blockbuster match. The match has been scheduled at the right time of the season. This fixture can potentially become a title decider match. Arsenal are currently sitting at the top of the table with 70 points. The blue side of Manchester is in second position. They are 6 points behind the Gunners with a game in hand. This interprets that a win against Mikel Arteta’s team and three points victory against Burnley in the next fixture, can give Man City the lead over the London side.
Sunday’s game holds a different significance for this reason. Whoever wins can tighten their grip on the Premier League title. This scenario has been like a deja vu for EPL fans. Not only that, Pep Guardiola and his team have started to recognise this similar situation. City has been found to be in the second position for greater part of the season in the last few years. Towards the end of the season, Pep’s team elevates their levels and went on to win the Premier League title ultimately.
Older players in the City squad are confident enough to do this same thing this year also. Their experience will guide them towards the glory again this season. Young and new players have been added into the squad which has improved the quality of the squad.
But the previous leaders in the team are still there who have won league titles. The experienced figures, including Erling Haaland are having a positive view. They believe that they can again cause a miracle and become PL champions.

Haaland has announced that City is feeling to win titles
As per reports, before the Sunday’s match, Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has apparently taken a challenge. He has emphasized that 8 times Premier League champion, Man City will go for the league title this year. As for now, Arsenal are ahead of them but the forward has some different plans.
The 25-year-old believes that the club’s tradition of winning trophies and glory have improved the team’s mental approach. He has also shared how he deals with stressful moments. The football player is quite experienced in tackling pressure.
He also said that Man City is a club which should be known for winning honours. They are building their confidence on the fact that they have won a domestic cup few weeks back. A trophy win in the mid season gives a lot of motivation. Haaland has faith in his calmness during a end to end title race.

Arsenal are the ones who are in pressure
At this stage, City have nothing to loose as they are second in the league table. They are already behind Arsenal. But Arsenal have their lead which they may lose on Sunday, if they get beaten by Man City.
Arsenal are worried about City’s current form, specially after the Carabao Cup final loss. While the red side of London has won just 1 out of 5 games in all tournaments. Guardiola and his team are taking this as serious game and are trying to be in a better mental state. Haaland has informed that he is training good with his teammates and is not overthinking too much. He is positive and is getting ready physically and mentally.
