Player to watch: Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland was at it again at the weekend, scoring the opening goal of the game against Liverpool. The Norweigan scored 50 goals last season and is already on 18 so far this campaign. Guardiola will be hoping Haaland scored a goal or two early here to get top spot in the group secured.
