Erling Haaland and Manchester City might just be turning the corner after the team's worst run of results under Pep Guardiola. Haaland scored twice in a 4-1 win over West Ham on Saturday as City secured back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the first time since late October,

Manchester City are hoping to start the new year with a victory at the Etihad against West Ham United. After failing to find a win in their last five matches, Manchester City finally collected three points to close out 2024.

The record for being the most points off the top at Christmas before going on to win the Premier League title belongs to Arsenal, who were 13 points behind Man Utd in 1997/98. This would give hope to Newcastle United, who are currently eighth, 13 points behind Liverpool.
