Erling Haaland is really close to doing something amazing. He has scored 49 goals in just 47 Premier League games for City. If he scores on Saturday, he’ll break the record for the fastest 50 goals. Right now, Andy Cole holds that record with 65 games. What makes it interesting is that Haaland has faced all teams in the league, but he hasn’t scored against Liverpool and Brentford yet.
But here’s the catch—there’s a question mark on whether Haaland will play in the next game. He hurt his ankle playing for Norway against the Faroe Islands and had to skip the match with Scotland. Guardiola, the coach, said on Friday, “He trained yesterday with some small issues, but today is the last training, and hopefully, he can be part of that.”
So, as fans wait to see if Halland will make history and how he performs, there’s a lot of excitement about his journey to reaching 50 goals in the Premier League.
