Not Haaland’s finest finish, but they all count!

As we enter the third international break of the season and the last one of 2023, Manchester City are top of the Premier League… by one point.

And it isn’t just one team breathing down the necks of the champions; Liverpool and Arsenal are one point behind in second and third respectively, desperate to pounce on any slip-ups from Guardiola’s side.

One point further back are Tottenham Hotspur, who will be looking to regroup during the international break after their hot start hit a wall this past week.

And then Aston Villa sit another point further back.

While Manchester City are heavy favourites to scoop a fourth consecutive title, there is plenty of competition at the top.
