Erling Haaland remains a major doubt for Manchester City’s high-stakes clash against Newcastle United this Saturday evening.
The Norwegian striker missed last weekend’s FA Cup win over Salford City after picking up a knock against Fulham, and Pep Guardiola is expected to wait until the final hour to make a selection call.
If Haaland is ruled out, Omar Marmoush—who has impressed in cup competitions—is expected to lead the line.
City are desperate for a win to cut Arsenal’s lead to just two points, but they are also navigating a defensive crisis with Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic confirmed as long-term absentees.
