The Citizens leapfrogged Arsenal to second place on Wednesday night following their 1-0 win over Brentford.

Erling Haaland was the match hero for the reigning champions, with his solitary goal helping his side bounce back to winning ways after they suffered a setback last weekend against Chelsea in a 1-1 draw.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are placed third on the log with 55 points.

Thierry Henry's Premier League verdict

On Wednesday night, Henry delivered his verdict on the title race after City went above the Gunners, with the former France international admitting that 'you don't feel comfortable' sitting in third place.

According to HITC, Henry went on to send Arsenal a straightforward message, making it clear that the last five games of the season could determine the fate of the north Londoners' campaign.

“When you are third, you don’t feel comfortable,” Henry said via CBS Sport.
“But the last five games away from home will decide the title for us at Arsenal," he added.

Mikel Arteta's charges have to contend with a tough fixture run-in in the final weeks of the campaign, with fixtures against Manchester City and Man United among those they will play.

The Emirates dwellers will also take on Brighton, Wolves, and Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.

Haaland leads the league in missed big chances

Sports Brief recently reported on the Premier League leaders in missed big chances.

Erling Haaland shared first place with Darwin Nunez after his poor showing against Chelsea.

He failed to score in that contest, missing three big chances against the Blues.
