Jorginho feels Erling Haaland’s scorching form is not a worry for Arsenal, who must halt his goal-scoring momentum this weekend.
Arsenal travel to the champs, where they have struggled to win, hoping to keep pace with Manchester City, who presently lead the north Londoners by two points after four games. A win might take that total to five as Haaland aims to maintain his stellar goal-scoring streak.
The Norwegian scored twice as City defeated Brentford at the weekend, bringing his total after four games to nine goals. That is another Premier League record set by Haaland, who is vying for a third consecutive Golden Boot.

Haaland scored twice against Arsenal in his rookie year, despite the fact that they held him scoreless last season. The Gunners are aware that they will have to manage the City forward when they visit the Etihad, but Jorginho insists they have laughed about his recent record and are not concerned themselves. According to the mirror.
He said, “Erling scoring again… it’s beginning to make us giggle. We look because we follow every game and enjoy the Premier League. We also monitor [City], which is usual. It doesn’t enter into our heads. We need to focus on ourselves, and that is what we are attempting to accomplish.
Arsenal understands that in order to win in May, they must steal points away from City. Last season, they earned four points from games against the Manchester club, but it wasn’t enough.
Pep Guardiola and his team are aiming for a record fifth consecutive league triumph, as well as their seventh in eight years. Their extraordinary dominance of English football has been strengthened by the capture of Haaland, who moved from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
The City manager stated ?
“He’s playing much better in everything,” the City manager stated. “He remains for 20 minutes or half an hour after each training session. He didn’t play a single game last season because he was weary and had niggles. He needs the team to give him more balls in the final third. We are going to create those conditions. He is unstoppable; there is no central defense who can stop him, not even with a rifle.”
Arsenal’s defensive commander, William Saliba, was able to keep Haaland quiet in their two meetings last season, which may provide some comfort. City failed to score against Arsenal last season, but have looked relentless in attack in the first few games.
