Man City striker Erling Haaland has shared a new picture in which he can be seen in a protective boot.

He won't be featuring for City tonight as they face Leicester at the Etihad Stadium, live on talkSPORT 2.

"Getting through two games at international level, two tough games, is a positive."

Two talkSPORT hosts agree that Liverpool should down Merseyside rivals Everton tonight.

The pair last faced off in February when James Tarkowski scored the most dramatic of stoppage time equalisers.

The game, which finished 2-2, was the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park before Everton move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.

Simon Jordan thinks that was a big part of the last result, commenting: "This is Anfield, this is not Goodison Park where they got the extra impetus.

"Liverpool, I would expect, would take care of Everton tonight."

Former Red Danny Murphy agreed, adding: "I think it will be tough, it will be gritty and they're in good form, but I think Liverpool will win."

So impressed has Danny Murphy been by David Moyes, that he thinks the Everton manager could take his side back to European football.

Moyes returned to Merseyside in January, having last led the team from 2002 to 2013.

Top seven finishes were almost a given under the Scot during his first stint, but in their last three seasons without him they've finished 16th, 17th and 15th.

Since replacing Sean Dyche in mid-season, Moyes has four wins, five draws and two defeats in 11 games, lifting the Toffees away from relegation danger.

They now face fierce rivals Liverpool tonight with a chance to try and derail their Premier League title charge, but in the long term, Murphy thinks Everton will be looking higher up the table themselves.

"I don't think it's impossible for him to get Everton back to where he got them before," the talkSPORT host said.

"It's not going to happen quickly, he needs to rebuild the squad and there needs to be some investment, but he's a very capable manager.

"What he's done in the short-term has been phenomenal and I didn't expect it, he's got them scoring goals.

"The game against Liverpool, if we go back to the Goodison Park match, the intensity, quality, and passion that they played with was as good as I've seen them.

"I know it was a late equaliser but in the game they were good, and that's down to him, he's giving players belief and setting up a good tactical plan."

Martin O'Neill has singled out Patrick Dorgu for criticism during another poor Manchester United performance.

The Red Devils fell 1-0 away at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, unable to recover from Anthony Elanga's fifth minute opener.

January signing Dorgu - Ruben Amorim's first at the club - stood out at left wing back, but not for the right reasons.

"Dorgu playing tonight, I could've done what he did," the 73-year-old O'Neill said.

"He's got the ball wide left hand side, your job is to take players on, you're saying 'come on your job is to take players on, go on, get at players!'

"He's laid it inside three times in the first ten minutes of the second half to the opposition.

"Maybe it's no confidence, I don't know what it is.

But all the ones that are here, I want them happy to be here."

Luis Suarez has revealed he hired a psychologist in 2014 after his bite on Giorgio Chiellini.

The current Inter Miami striker sunk his teeth onto the Italy defender at the World Cup in one of a number of unsavoury moments during his career.

It was in fact the third time Suarez had bitten an opponent, and it was understood that Liverpool decided to give up on keeping him after the incident, agreeing a deal with Barcelona.

Speaking in an interview with YouTuber Davoo Xeneize, Suarez briefly talked about the moment and why he hasn't done it since.

"I had to change my image from 2014, so I hired a psychologist to help me," he said.

"I relied on the psychologist who helped me better appreciate things and why they happen."

talkSPORT host Danny Murphy isn't giving Arsenal much hope against Real Madrid due to their injury situation.

Mikel Arteta's side face the record Champions League winners in a two-legged quarter final tie on April 8 and 16.

Arsenal received a boost last night with Bukayo Saka scoring on his return, but there was bad news with key defenders Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes picking up injuries.

Giving his views on how those blows impact the tie, Murphy said: "Arsenal's strength is how good they are defensively.

"They've got talent in forward areas, of course they have, but against Madrid you've got to be defensively brilliant, you only need moments and they've got world beaters.

"You're going to have to be 100 per cent, and if you've got no Timber, who I think has been one of Arsenal's best players, a brilliant footballer, and Gabriel missing, no chance."

On Gabriel specifically, the former midfielder added: "He's hugely important.
