Leeds manager Jesse Marsch makes admission over plan to stop Man City's Erling Haaland

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has admitted that his side will need some luck to stop Erling Haaland when Manchester City travel to Elland Road this week.

Very few teams have managed to nullify Haaland's threat so far this campaign, with the Norwegian dominating the Premier League following his summer move from Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old has scored 24 goals for City since arriving at the Etihad, his latest coming against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup last Thursday.

Marsch is all too aware of the threat Haaland poses for his Leeds side having helped develop him at RB Salzburg. Before the clash at Elland Road, the American was inevitably asked about the Blues' striker and how he plans to stop him.
