LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester City is one win away from a third straight Premier League title and a fifth in six seasons under Pep Guardiola.English soccer’s dominant force was tested by a new rival in the form of Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s team has buckled under the pressure of trying to keep pace with Guardiola’s relentless trophy-winning machine.

City has been near-perfect, while Arsenal’s challenge has melted in the heat of th...
