Sven-Goran Eriksson makes prediction about Erling Haaland at Man City

Former Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson believes that Erling Haaland can become one of the best footballers of all time - provided he stays at the club.

Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to life at City, scoring 20 goals in 14 matches in all competitions (15 in 10 in the Premier League) to make a mockery of those who thought he might not fit into a Pep Guardiola team.

That the 22-year-old - who City signed from Borussia Dortmund for £51m in the summer - failed to score or assist for the first time this season in City's 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday says an awful lot. The last time he failed to score - against Bournemouth in August - he went on an 11-game scoring streak, suggesting his goals tally for the season could be about to surge again.
