Players to Watch

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

The Norwegian forward has looked in good touch since the start of the season and he is ready to lead Man City in the attacking front yet again. Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in seven Premier League matches in the ongoing season. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence going forward.

Beto (Everton)

Beto is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Everton in the absence of Jack Grealish. He will be looking to step up so that he can help his side stand a chance against Man City. It is not going to be an easy outing for the Toffees, but a special performance by Beto can be game changer for them.
