A potential Premier League first for Haaland
Manchester City could start a Premier League game without Erling Haaland for the first time this season, if he doesn't recover from his combination of flu and a knock to his ankle. Haaland has 17 goals and three assists in his 11 Premier League outings so far, already surpassing last season's top scorer in the league. If he was to miss the trip to Leicester, City would have to find another source of goals at the King Power Stadium.
On the only other occasion where Haaland hasn't started this season, City drew a blank in Copenhagen (not helped by having 10 men for the majority), and they were also goalless in the second half in Dortmund this week when Haaland was replaced. Haaland has scored or assisted 55 per cent of City's goals this season, so Pep Guardiola's side will have to figure out a new way to score if he isn't fit enough to play on Saturday.
