Story summary

Erling Haaland, who scored a crucial stoppage-time penalty against Liverpool last season, is fit to play despite limping off during Norway’s recent Nations League match. Man City manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Haaland's readiness in a press conference on Friday morning ahead of the upcoming Premier League clash at Anfield on October 11. Haaland has since recovered and spent time in Marbella, where he played golf and underwent recovery sessions. With Haaland expected to start, Man City faces a decision regarding their attacking lineup as Jeremy Doku competes for a starting spot alongside him. Additionally, Phil Foden will miss his final match of a three-game suspension from the Manchester derby, while Nico O’Reilly remains doubtful due to an absence from training during the international break.
