Erling Haaland starts for Manchester City against Arsenal in tonight’s huge Premier League clash.
The forward was forced off during Sunday’s win over Aston Villa but has recovered to be named in the starting XI at the Emirates.
Pep Guardiola confirmed after the win over Aston Villa that Haaland was substituted at half-time due to a “kick” but suggested that he would not have taken off his star striker had City not been 3-0 up at the time.
