One dreaded question Manchester City will never want to have to answer but will inevitably be forced to one day is: 'what do they do without Erling Haaland?'
Haaland has only been a City player for 15 games but the 22 goals he has scored in that time have already made him an intrinsic part of Pep Guardiola's side. The way the Blues' attack and build-up play has changed from what it was last season thanks to the Norwegian sensation's remarkable physical qualities and clinical edge in front of goal. Removing such an integral card could see the whole house flutter down.
There have only been two occasions since the season began in which Haaland has not been on the pitch when the game has not already been safely won. On both occasions, City failed to score. The 0-0 against FC Copenhagen in which he sat the game out on the bench and Tuesday's stalemate with Borussia Dortmund, in which he failed to find the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes before being taken off at half-time.
