Pep Guardiola believes the best way for Erling Haaland to reach his best at Manchester City is to play as often as possible to form connections with his teammates, so he's bound to keep his place against Newcastle United.
City will be looking to keep their 100 per cent record intact when they travel up north for Sunday's game after already picking up comfortable victories over West Ham and Bournemouth. With games only coming at a pace of one per week at the moment, Guardiola hasn't been forced to rotate his side much to keep everybody fit.
The reintroduction of five substitutions certainly helps in that regard and, as a result, it may be an unchanged side that takes to the field at St. James' Park. That would see Haaland continue to lead the line. The striker has had a great start to life at City with two goals and an assist in his two matches, but he isn't quite firing on all cylinders just yet as the team continues to get used to playing with a focal point again.
