Man City ace Erling Haaland can equal 94-year club record in Premier League clash vs Leeds

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland can break a club record that has stood for 94 years when Pep Guardiola's side take on Leeds at the weekend.
The 22-year-old grabbed his 35th Premier League goal of the season for Pep Guardiola's side in City's 3-0 victory over West Ham on Wednesday night. Haaland's dinked finish saw him move ahead of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who both scored 34 goals in 1994/95 and 1993/94 respectively.
While the Norwegian ace has already insisted he would swap his individual accolades for three trophies this term, he will have the chance to break another record when the Blues welcome Leeds to the Etihad on Saturday afternoon.

Johnson, who played for City from 1919 until 1930, scored 158 league goals for the Blues, which is equal to Eric Brook and bettered only by legendary frontman Sergio Aguero, who grabbed 184.
Haaland could potentially break Johnson's record at the weekend, but he would need to score four or more goals in a game for the first time in his short Premier League career.
Historian and author Dr Gary James revealed that Johnson's son, Alan, insisted his father always wanted someone to go and break his record.
"Alan Johnson once told me several years ago: 'Dad always wanted someone to break his record,'" said James. "He looked forward to congratulating the man who did, but as time's gone by it
