Manchester City left Erling Haaland on the bench as they were held to a goalless draw iagainst FC Copenhagen in a game dominated by VAR decisions.

And he was the hero again on Tuesday when he guessed right to deny Riyad Mahrez's first-half penalty. Jurgen Klopp has an injury crisis to deal with ahead of Sunday's game, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Joel Matip the latest to enter the Anfield treatment room. It was, though, a precious 90 minutes rest for the Norwegian after a hectic start to the life at the Etihad Stadium and with a visit to Anfield on the horizon.

It was reported this week that Manchester CIty striker Erling Haaland has a $195 million release clause in his contract, but despite that clause, City are ...

If he is happy at City in two years’ time, then City could offer him a new contract and end up staying in Manchester for the rest of his career. Many of the other most expensive transfers in soccer have not been anywhere near as successful as imagined. And on top of the transfer fee will be an agent’s fee, which could be more than $50 million, as well as Haaland’s wages. Barcelona’s financial difficulties have been well documented and could get even worse should they fail to make the knockout stages of this season’s Champions League. Haaland is already playing for a club that is competing for the top honors in world soccer, and is already beamed around the world at Manchester City. It’s almost twice Real Madrid’s record transfer fee of $110 million, which they paid for Eden Hazard.

Manchester City drew 0-0 with FC Copenhagen in the Champions League and Erling Haaland was an unused substitute.

We have two days to prepare against Liverpool," said Guardiola. We played the players who feel better." "He finished the game against Southampton so, so tired and didn’t recover well.

Gabby Agbonlahor doesn't think Erling Haaland will be stopping around in Manchester for too long as release clause details are revealed.

His record in the Champions League is also something to behold. “He looks like the sort of player, like Zlatan [Ibrahimovic], who will want to try different leagues. The 22-year-old has scored 28 goals across his first 22 appearances in the competition and already has five goals in Europe this season. Haaland has already played in four different countries and he has scored goals wherever he has gone. Haaland has had an electric start to the season and has scored 20 goals across his first 13 appearances for the club. [It was recently revealed that he has a release clause in his contract](https://www.football365.com/news/report-reveals-haaland-decreasing-e200m-release-clause-man-city), which kicks in from the summer of 2024.

Erling Haaland will start from the bench as Manchester City look to secure their place in the Champions League knockout stages away at Copenhagen.

Celtic's Champions League hopes are over and it will be tough for them to secure the consolation of Europa League football. A squad of 26 players might allow room for several who are not at optimum fitness but in the same position? It was his pass in behind Fikayo Tomori that led to the moment that took the game away from Milan. Mason Mount was only on the pitch for 45 minutes at the San Siro as Chelsea cruised to victory in Milan. Even so, the performance he produced was up there with his best in a Chelsea shirt. But what should be England's strongest area of the pitch has suddenly become even more complicated for Gareth Southgate. It will be interesting to know what Haaland thought of Guardiola's decision to leave him on the bench, though. The performance up until then had been fairly convincing with the front three of Kane, Son and Richarlison all clicking together nicely. Only Erling Haaland (23) has more goal involvements for a Premier League club in all competitions this season than Firmino, who has eight goals and four assists to his name. Those were not the words of Jurgen Klopp but you get the impression he would have liked to have gone down that Didi Hamman route when pressed after Liverpool's rampant showing at Ibrox which ended up being Rangers' biggest-ever home defeat in a competitive home match. His boys were stagnating in attack with Darwin Nunez fumbling and stumbling across the front line and they were being cut open at the other end. Klopp will be hoping this is just the start, with Liverpool's great rivals coming into view this Sunday.

Manchester City face Liverpool at Anfield this week but they already have a commanding lead over their rivals.

It’s a game like any other, obviously, it’s hard playing away at a top-six team always, I think the last few years we’ve done well, even last year if we didn’t win so I think it’s probably going to be a good game again." "I expect them to be at the best Liverpool possible," said De Bruyne. Kevin De Bruyne expects to face an in-form and full-throttle Liverpool at Anfield this weekend despite their poor start to the season.

Sergio Aguero warns Manchester City they face no guarantees in the Premier League title race.

For Aguero, it's clear that Gabriel Jesus - who City sold to Arsenal for £45m in the summer - has had a great impact in north London. "Then, you always have your clear competition for the title – Arsenal has shown to be one of the teams to beat this season. When a manager builds rapport with his players, that's half the battle. "Gabriel [Jesus] has always had good respect, he's truly a complete player. You need to play every game like it's a knockout match and you can't afford any missteps. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) are the only unbeaten side left, having won seven and drawn two matches.
