All eyes are on Erling Haaland as Liverpool prepares to head to the Etihad Stadium, knowing that it could take a huge step toward taking Manchester City’s Premier League crown.

The Reds will be aiming to take full advantage of Arsenal’s defeat against West Ham as they look to take an 11-point lead in the title race.

Guardiola gave nothing away when he was asked about his striker’s chances of playing on Friday, leaving some question marks over whether he will be involved.

“I don't know yet [if he is available],” Guardiola said.

Yeah, maybe [I'm hopeful], but I don't know because we don't train today, until tomorrow he will test.”

City’s boss is fooling no-one though

Pep Guardiola has put doubt on Erling Haaland's involvement for Manchester City against Liverpool

The Liverpool duo will be wary of Omar Marmoush, who has made an impressive start to life at City after scoring his first hat-trick for the club last week.

Phil Foden and Savinho get the nod on the wings, providing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson plenty of work, and - despite Guardiola’s efforts to throw us off the scent - Haaland starts up front

We’ll try and act surprised when he gets the nod later.

Man City predicted team vs Liverpool: Ederson, Lewis, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Gonzalez, Kovacic, Marmoush, Foden, Savinho, Haaland.
