MANCHESTER, England -- The Premier League title race is on, and it might end up with Erling Haaland overhauling Arsenal on his own to put Manchester City at the top of the pile at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old is now so dominant and so important to his team that he is approaching the same peerless level once occupied by Lionel Messi at Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. They both avoided injuries and form slumps to drive their teams to glory, so can Haaland also carry City to success on his own?
