Predicted City Lineup Shows Haaland Fit for Anfield Clash
Manchester City are expected to field striker Erling Haaland in their starting XI for the upcoming Premier League encounter with Liverpool, according to a predicted lineup published by Ghanamma.com. The outlet notes that the Norwegian forward has recovered from a recent injury scare and is poised to lead Pep Guardiola’s attack at Anfield.
Match details
The fixture is scheduled for 15:30 GMT on 11 October 2026 at Liverpool’s Anfield stadium. Both clubs are currently in the early stages of the 2026‑27 Premier League season, with City sitting top of the table on 15 points after five wins, while Liverpool occupy sixth place with nine points.
Recent form
City arrive on the back of a flawless run – five consecutive victories, scoring 13 and conceding five. Their most recent win was a 5‑3 away triumph over Sunderland. Liverpool’s form has been mixed, recording two wins, three draws and no defeats, including a narrow 1‑0 away win at Bournemouth and a 2‑2 draw with Newcastle.
Why Haaland matters
Haaland’s inclusion would restore City’s preferred striking option after a brief period on the sidelines. His goal‑scoring record has been pivotal to City’s early dominance, and his fitness could prove decisive in a match that promises to be a key test for both sides.
Ghanamma.com stresses that the lineup is a prediction and not an official confirmation from the club. Fans will be watching closely to see if the suggested eleven materialises on matchday.
