Manchester City have moved to second in the Premier League table after beating Bournemouth 3-1 on Sunday.
The Citizens cruised to victory at the Etihad Stadium following a double from Erling Haaland and a 60th-minute goal from Nico O’Reilly.
The result brings Pep Guardiola’s side within six points of leaders Arsenal, while Liverpool sit just one point behind in third.
The Gunners remain favourites for the Premier League title this season, but City are quite capable of overturning the six-point deficit.
Below we look at the next five fixtures for the top three title contenders.
