Erling Haaland can break Wayne Rooney and Eric Cantona record in Man City vs Manchester United
03.03.2024 - 07:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
There are plenty of records and bragging rights at stake for Manchester City in Sunday's derby with United.
Erling Haaland has only played four derby games - after declaring it was the fixture he was most looking forward to when he signed - but has an impressive eight goal contributions. If he picks up where he left off at Luton, he could potentially set a new derby record in the Premier League with a goal or two (or three).
Elsewhere, Rodri is closing in on an English football record, while Pep Guardiola will be looking to improve City's home form against United under his leadership. And with opposite number Erik ten Hag under increasing pressure, could this be the final time Guardiola faces the Dutchman?

These are the talking points ahead of Manchester City's must-win clash with Manchester United:
Haaland scored five in his last outing, and three in his last derby against United at the Etihad. If he replicates that form on Sunday, he will overtake two United legends to become top scorer in the derby in Premier League fixtures. Wayne Rooney is United's top Premier League derby scorer with eight goals from 21, with Eric Cantona next with an impressive seven goals from six outings.
Haaland has five in three league derbies so far. Impressively, he has three assists on top of that, to total eight goal contributions from 270 minutes of action - one every 33 minutes. Already, only Sergio Aguero has more goals in the derby in the Premier League era for City, with eight from 13 matches.
Aguero is the fixture's joint-top scorer
