Story summary

Erling Haaland, the in-form Manchester City forward, is expected to play against Liverpool despite a recent injury. Enzo Maresca, Man City's sports science manager, confirmed Haaland's readiness during a Friday press conference before the match. Haaland netted in all three encounters with Liverpool last season, most notably scoring a stoppage-time penalty that helped Manchester City come back from behind to win in February. The inclusion of Haaland is significant as it boosts hopes for another victory at Anfield, where Man City has only won three league games since 1981. Haaland had taken time off in Marbella for recovery and is now considered fully fit by his team.
