A penalty by Bukayo Saka cancelled out Kevin de Bruyne's opener.

The Sky Blues, on the other hand, were ruthless in the second half, scoring two more goals through Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

However, they still have a game in hand on the defending champions.

Nonetheless, Arsenal's Premier League title chances have been reduced to 34%, according to FiveThirtyEight's supercomputer.

Man City's chances of winning the Premier League for the third time in a row are rated at 62%.

Arsenal are predicted to finish two points behind City, with the Gunners finishing with 81 points.

Manchester United's title chances have also been boosted, albeit marginally.

The Red Devils have a 2% chance and are expected to finish 11 points behind the leaders.
