Pep Guardiola tells Arsenal how to stop Man City star Erling Haaland

Pep Guardiola suggested a way to stop Erling Haaland... before predicting it will not happen on Wednesday.

Arsenal will likely have to stop the 48-goal striker from adding to his tally if they are to come away with any points from their top-of-the-table encounter, and Manchester City have had experience of coming up against the prolific No.9. On their way to the Champions League final in 2021, they stopped Haaland from scoring for Dortmund in both legs of their quarter-final.

"From what he has shown in his career, it is difficult but as a team [you have] to have him involved as little as possible. When we played against him when he was at Borussia Dortmund, we tried to have 70- 80 per cent ball possession," he said.
