140 Manchester City face Liverpool this weekend in a huge Premier League clash and Erling Haaland has been previewing the game.
The Manchester City striker goes into the game looking to be the difference maker for his team and bring home a three points that would go a long way to sealing the Premier League title.
Haaland remains in fine form and is the top scorer in the league once more. He scored late on against Manchester United to continue his run, after a mistake from the Red Devils allowed him in on goal.
However, this weekend sees him come up against a different level of team and defender. The Reds have Virgil van Dijk and Ibou Konate to call upon in the centre of defence.
And speaking to TNT Sports, Haaland has admitted he just loves playing against Van Dijk, albeit he admits the Dutchman is an ‘unreal’ player.
“He’s the main guy in Liverpool. I said it for many years, he is unreal and also I heard he is a really nice guy so that also helps. Yeah, he’s a monster and yeah, I like to play against players like him because then you really test yourself so what can I say, it’s going to be a nice game,” Haaland said.
Haaland and Van Dijk a battle for the ages
There is an obvious mutual respect there when it comes to Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk. After all, they are two of the best players in the world, certainly in their own positions.
But Haaland would obviously love to get the better of him this weekend and there’s a big chance for the Norwegian to really lay down a marker this time.
Van Dijk is back to the form of his life so if Haaland can outdo him, it will cement his place as the best number nine in the world at the moment.
Of course, the Liverpool skipper will want to win his own battle and silence Haaland.
The clash this weekend, then, is set to be huge and whoever comes out on top in this battle could well be on the winning team.
