Thierry Henry makes Erling Haaland goal prediction and tips Man City ace to break Premier League record

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has backed Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to make history by scoring six goals in one game for the Blues.

The Norwegian striker has registered 23 goals and three assists in 18 appearances in all competitions since joining Pep Guardiola's side in the summer. Haaland is currently the Premier League's top goalscorer, having scored six more than second-placed Harry Kane.

Haaland has already scored three hat-tricks in the top flight, and Henry believes the 22-year-old will become the first player in history to score six times in one match. The current record for the most goals in one Premier League match is jointly held by Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov and City legend Sergio Aguero - who all scored five goals.
