Trying to overcome City's numerical disadvantage, Kevin De Bruyne's curler from the edge of the area forced a good save from Grabara early in the second half. After being denied by VAR, City should have benefitted from the system in the 24th minute, winning a penalty after a replay check of Nicolai Boilesen's handball when he blocked Manuel Akanji's header. Rodri thought he had given City the lead with a 25-metre rocket in the 11th minute.

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.

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.

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's Norwegian talisman has been in outstanding form since arriving from Borussia Dortmund.

"If they win the Champions League this year, where is he going to have a project like this again? To build that team at City with Haaland up front, he might never manage a team like this again.

Pep Guardiola has refused to reveal whether Erling Haaland will be involved in Manchester City's Champions League clash at FC Copenhagen.

But lately we were lucky to score goals in the first half and at the beginning of the second, then after we can rotate." I have to speak with the players, physios and doctors and decide what is the best. However, Guardiola might opt to rotate his squad against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday which could see Haaland playing a truncated role at the Parken Stadium.

In the gallery above, you can see out predictions for all the games. Finally, Liverpool take on Manchester City at Anfield in the game of the weekend. The feast begins with Aston Villa playing host to in-form Chelsea, table-topping Arsenal travel to Yorkshire where they take on Leeds, Manchester United entertain Newcastle United at Old Trafford and Southampton tackle West Ham United on the south coast.

Erling Haaland has a release clause in his Manchester City contract but supporters should not be worried.

The term 'release clause' can sound a little scary, but City supporters need not panic. In fact, having a non-Premier League release clause might be even better than having no clause at all. City did not want to sell Ferran Torres, Gabriel Jesus or Raheem Sterling, but they stuck to their word once a suitable offer dropped into their inbox. However, when you think about it, the situation is actually no different to how City usually conduct their transfer business. Not only that, the sum will decrease - no values have specified as of yet - from 2024 onwards, until the end of his contract in 2027. Los Blancos were City's main competitors for Haaland's signature, and now they know the specific price they would have to reach to avoid drawn out negotiations.

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.
