Manchester City are now less than a week away from resuming their Premier League title charge at home to Liverpool. Pep Guardiola's troops, who signed off for the current international break with a pulsating 4-4 draw against Chelsea last weekend, will welcome Jurgen Klopp's side to the Etihad Stadium next Saturday, signalling the restart of the Premier League campaign.
The two sides currently occupy first and second in the table respectively, with City a point better off. However, the Blues have been dealt a series of injury concerns over the hiatus, the most concerning of which is to star striker Erling Haaland.
He twisted his ankle in Norway's 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands on Thursday, ruling him out of their European Championship qualifier against Scotland on Sunday evening.
