Man City’s title push highlighted by Premier League table since January transfer window

Manchester City have been making serious ground on Arsenal in the title race and although they are still second, they’re ensuring things could go down to the final day.

City have been the outsiders in the title race but have mostly done what they’ve needed to in order to keep the pressure on Arsenal. For example, they made it 10 games unbeaten when they welcomed Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium in April and successfully cut a six-point gap between second and first place in half, thanks to goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland either side of one by Kai Havertz for the opposition.

Since then, City have racked up another three wins and one draw, putting them clear in the Premier League form table since the January transfer window closed on February 2.

City have a habit of finding form at the business end of the season and this year is no different.

Their January transfer activity included the signings of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi from Bournemouth and Crystal Palace respectively, whereas Arsenal kept their powder dry.

City are one of two unbeaten teams since the transfer window, the other being Semenyo’s former club, Bournemouth.

City have scored four more goals than anyone else since the window closed and no team has conceded fewer than them, therefore giving them the best goal difference.

The 30 points they have amassed since the closure of the January transfer window are four more than Arsenal.

Arsenal, in fact, are closer to (but still better than) Manchester United over their past 12 games. They just need to keep pace with the other team from Manchester instead over the last two games.

Elsewhere in the table since the transfer window, Chelsea are tellingly below relegated Wolves, Leeds United would be pushing for Europe and, unsurprisingly, Tottenham Hotspur remain in the bottom three – some 10 places below the West Ham side they might beat to actual safety.
