Andoni Iraola\u2019s Cherries climbed into the runners-up spot with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend, while the Citizens\u2019 hopes of retaining the title suffered another blow with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">Manchester City\u2019s fortunes this season have often mirrored those of Erling Haaland. When the Norwegian striker fails to score, so too do the Sky Blues.

In midweek EFL Cup action, City managed without Haaland to overcome Swansea City 3-1, coming from behind to book a spot in the quarter-finals. The Etihad remains a fortress, with City winning their last four home games across all competitions, scoring 12 and conceding just once. Notably, the last time City lost three of their opening nine league matches, they rebounded to claim the 2013-14 Premier League title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"men\">As City, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>, and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/chelsea-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> struggle for consistency, Bournemouth are thriving.
