Early team news: Erling Haaland status revealed for Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City (Premier League) | OneFootball

Manchester City travel to North London on Wednesday night to take on Tottenham in their latest Premier League encounter in a difficult season.

It is an opportunity for Pep Guardiola and his players to secure revenge on a side that has already inflicted two defeats upon the reigning Premier League champions this season in the Carabao Cup and at the Etihad Stadium in the top-flight.

Manchester City come into this clash off the back of a 0-2 home defeat to the expected Premier League champions for the 2024/25 season, Liverpool. Despite the scoreline, Guardiola insisted upon his satisfaction at the performance after the game.

Ange Postecoglou and his players come into this fixture in a mixed run of form but off the back of consecutive victories having beaten Manchester United 1-0 at home before following that result with a 1-4 away win at Ipswich Town.

Manchester City have made a late assessment on Erling Haaland’s fitness coming into this clash, while Oscar Bobb has returned to first-team training this week following an ankle injury during his recovery process from a leg fracture last summer.

John Stones is now expected to be sidelined for up to 10 weeks after Manchester City took the decision not to operate on a thigh injury, as he joins Manuel Akanji and Rodri on their respective roads to recovery.

Ahead of the confirmed team news from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight, some initial information has began to filter throughout social media from journalists and sources regarding Manchester City’s starting line-up.

According to the information of the Manchester Evening News’ Tyrone Marshall, Erling Haaland has returned to the Manchester City matchday squad present at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night.

Further information provided by the ever-reliable ‘FPLMaineRoad‘ on X confirms that Erling Haaland is also part of Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up to face off against the North London club this week.

Ange Postecoglou and Pep Guardiola are expected to confirmed their respective Tottenham and Manchester City starting line-ups around 18:15 (UK) on Wednesday night.

Now confirmed.
