MANCHESTER City striker Erling Haaland is bracing himself for one of the toughest tests of the season when the Sky Blues host Premier League champions Liverpool tomorrow.
The Norwegian marksman lauded the quality of the opposition, describing Jiirgen Klopp’s side as a formidable outfit with no obvious flaws.
“T think they’re a really solid side,” said Haaland.
“They won the Premier League, so they're obviously a fantastic team with a lot of quality players.
“I don’t really see any weaknesses. Of course, they’ve had a few struggles here and there, but overall, they’re such a complete team.
“That's what makes them one of the strongest sides in the league. They’re the champions, playing with the golden badge, so it’s definitely going to be a tough game.”
