Erling Haaland OUT of Man City vs Leeds clash in injury blow for Pep Guardiola

Erling Haaland is not in the Manchester City squad for Saturday evening's match away at Leeds United , where victory would enable Pep Guardiola's men to close the gap on Arsenal .

The Gunners are currently five points clear at the Premier League summit, but City can apply pressure on them with a positive result before they play Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

They will have to do so without Haaland, though, as their star striker misses out through injury.

Omar Marmoush instead spearheads the City attacking alongside Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki as Guardiola's men look to bag more precious points in the title race.

It remains to be seen if Haaland will be available for Wednesday's fixture with Nottingham Forest , with reports suggesting the striker suffered a minor injury in training on the eve of the Leeds game.

Haaland has scored just twice in his last six Premier League games but the Norwegian is still the division's leading marksman with 22 goals for the season.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, saving £336 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.
