THE BIGGER PICTURE

Haaland's return will surely boost the Citizens' chances of securing Champions League qualification for a 15th consecutive season. Guardiola's side sit third in the league, and need just six points from their final three league games to secure European football next season.
WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

Guardiola said: "He’s ready. He’s ready, he's fit. To start? We will decide tomorrow."
DID YOU KNOW?

Haaland has struck 21 goals in 28 PL appearances this season but City have continued their resurgence in his absence, picking up 16 points out of the last 18 and reaching the FA Cup final.
