Arsenal may be topping the Premier League table as of now, but few would bet against Manchester City running down the Gunners before the end of the 2025/26 season, and Erling Haaland is the reason why.
Already enjoying another landmark campaign under Pep Guardiola, the world-class Norwegian striker bagged his 16th league goal of the season in the dying minutes of the first half on the road against Crystal Palace.
Haaland, who is on course to continue to break one record after the next since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, has further cemented just how insane his goal record has been across his four seasons at the Etihad.
With his latest hit, the goal machine is now averaging 0.89 goals/match in the Premier League, which is miles ahead of City icon Sergio Agüero and Harry Kane, both of whom ended their Premier League stints on 0.67.

Ahead of leading Norway to their first World Cup appearance since 1998, can Haaland spearhead City to another league title?
