Last year’s runners-up Arsenal generate 4.6 million searches per month, followed by Liverpool with 4.05 million.
Manchester United are next, but they failed to crack the top three, nor did they top the four million mark, but they are right there in fourth place in 3.8 million searches per month.
So City are dominant with SEO and SERP, as well as with attack, defense, midfield and goalkeeping.
Up next for them is a clash at newly promoted Sheffield United, a match that they are strongly favored to win.
What’s the best lineup for achieving that goal? Football is just like search engine optimization, you need both a smart plan, and the ability to execute it.

Ederson; Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake; Rodri, Mateo Kovacic; Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish; Erling Haaland
