Erling Haaland believes Arsenal have an advantage over Manchester City as the two clubs begin what could develop into another battle at the top of the Premier League.City have made a perfect start to the new campaign, winning all three of their league matches, but Haaland believes Arsenal’s greater continuity could work in their favour.Haaland points to Arsenal’s continuityAs reported by The Standard, Haaland believes the amount of time Mikel Arteta’s players have spent together gives Arsenal an edge over a Manchester City side that is still evolving.“Arsenal have played together for a long time and have built this up over a longer period, a bit like City had when I first joined,” Haaland said.“We’re still in a kind of rebuilding phase, but the transfer window has been fantastic, I have to say.”The Norwegian was nevertheless full of praise for City’s recruitment, saying the club had brought in both “fantastic footballers” and people who fit well into the squad.It is an interesting admission from arguably Arsenal’s biggest title rival.Manchester City have hardly looked like a side struggling to rebuild, having taken maximum points from their opening three games. Haaland himself scored the only goal in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Coventry City.Yet his comments highlight something that could prove important over the course of a long season.(Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)Can Arsenal make that advantage count?Arteta has had time to develop this Arsenal side, and many of his key players know exactly what is expected of them and each other.Haaland clearly sees value in that stability.The challenge for Arsenal is turning that perceived advantage into results.They face Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon knowing victory would move them level with City at the top of the table.It is still extremely early in the season, of course, but after City started with three straight victories, Arsenal will want to ensure they keep pace.Haaland believes the Gunners have an advantage – do you?Do you agree with Haaland that Arsenal’s settled squad gives them an advantage over Manchester City this season, or do you still see City as the biggest threat?
