At 02:00 tonight (April 27), Man City will face Arsenal in the decisive match of the season. Currently, Man "Blue" has 70 points after 30 matches, 5 points behind Arsenal but has played two matches less. If they win the decisive match, coach Pep Guardiola's team will have a big advantage in the race for the championship.

Erling Haaland is the most anticipated star of Man City in this match. The Norwegian player had an extremely impressive first season at the Manchester club. He scored 48 goals for Man City in all competitions, including 32 goals in the Premier League.
Just one more goal and Haaland will surpass Mohamed Salah to become the player with the most goals in the Premier League in a season with 38 rounds (33 goals).
Furthermore, if he scores twice, Haaland will equal the record of goals scored in a Premier League season held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole (both 34 goals). However, these two former players set the record when the Premier League season took place with 42 rounds.
Haaland is a big threat to Arsenal in the "final" of the Premier League.
If he scores three goals, the Man City striker will equal Alan Shearer for the most hat-tricks in a Premier League season with five.
In addition, Haaland could also become the first player since C. Ronaldo and Fernando Torres (both in the 2007/08 season) to score 21 goals at home in a Premier League season. Up to this point, the Norwegian striker has scored 20 goals at the Etihad Stadium in the 2022/23 season.
It is worth mentioning that Haaland still has 8 matches left to write records in the Premier League. But perhaps, if the Norwegian striker can do that in the match against Arsenal, it will be complete joy for him and Man City.
