Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is closely monitoring the Premier League title race and expresses confidence in their offensive capabilities. This optimism follows City’s 6-2 victory over Luton Town on Tuesday night, securing their spot in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Haaland’s stellar performance was highlighted by his five-goal spree, including a hat-trick within the first 40 minutes of the match.
This display of prowess comes after his recovery from a two-month ankle injury, during which he has scored seven goals in his last six games.
The return to form of star player Kevin De Bruyne, who provided assists for Haaland’s first four goals against Luton, adds to City’s offensive threat.
With both players in peak condition, they are determined to lead City in their pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Currently trailing leaders Liverpool by just one point, City faces a crucial match at Anfield next Sunday, with Arsenal closely behind in third place. Haaland issues a bold statement to Liverpool, asserting that City’s title charge is imminent.
Speaking about his fitness, Haaland expresses confidence, indicating that he is reaching his peak condition and feeling fantastic. Despite this optimism,
City faced a setback during their victory over Luton as Jack Grealish was forced off due to a recurring groin injury in the 38th minute.
Manager Pep Guardiola expresses concern about Grealish’s injury but awaits further assessment from the medical team.
