Manchester City currently sit 2nd in the Premier League on 23 points. Currently the champions are five points off the top and having lost each of their last four fixtures they will look to get back on track in this game.

Luckily for them they have scored the joint second most goals in the league having found the back of the net 22 times so far. This mostly thanks to Haaland up front who has twelve goals already this campaign. Will he add to his tally in this match?
