<p>The prolific Norwegian striker is readying himself for another Champions League outing. Premier League title holders City are preparing for a trip to Portugal that will see them face Sporting – who remain under the guidance of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruben-amorim-wanted-man-utd-job-leaving-sporting-cp-approached-by-clubs/blt917bd3d5bf863cc2" target="_blank">Manchester United-bound boss Ruben Amorim</a> for now.</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Haaland has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-neymar-didier-drogba-champions-league-goals-manchester-city-sparta-prague/blta6d2b7d59e2b851d" target="_blank">netted in City’s most recent European outings</a>, against Sparta Prague and Slovan Bratislava, but drew a blank in his last domestic appearance as Pep Guardiola’s side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-bournemouth-kyle-walker-erling-haaland/blt4b1e2aaeae4d2816" target="_blank">suffered a shock defeat at Bournemouth</a>. A positive response to that result is being demanded on Tuesday.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guardiola will want to have Haaland leading his line in Lisbon, with the 24-year-old frontman vital to their plans – with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-top-scorers-2024-25/blt196a7a5819d3d66c" target="_blank">further 14 goals being posted this season</a> through as many appearances. He did give City’s coaching team a brief moment of concern during a training session on Monday as he hit the deck holding his right leg, leading to a theatrical roll on the turf.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Haaland’s colleagues did not appear overly concerned, with the powerful forward soon back on his feet. That is good news for Guardiola, who has seen City suffer 2-1 setbacks in each of their last two fixtures – against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and Bournemouth in the Premier League.</p>
