In the latest “Under the Radar in the Premier League” we focus on some developing storylines as we build up to Matchweek 11.
MORE — Latest Premier League schedule | Standings
If Erling Haaland scores at least twice against Liverpool on Sunday he will become the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goals. He’d do it in just 108 games, 16 fewer than Alan Shearer managed. That said, Haaland has scored just once in the Premier League against Liverpool and Virgil van Dijk has had his number in recent outings. But it is different this season. Haaland knows he is a machine, hence his robot goal celebration after scoring another double against Bournemouth on Sunday. Haaland has scored 13 Premier League goals in the opening 10 games of the season and he probably could have had closer to 20. City are playing more direct more often and his understanding with Rayan Cherki is very promising, so much so that Haaland likened the French playmaker to Kevin de Bruyne in midweek. Haaland insists he is not focused on breaking records. And he probably isn’t. He’s a goalscoring machine who looks angry after City took a huge nosedive last season. He isn’t used to not winning trophies and there has been extra pressure placed on him as a leader of this team following plenty of big summer departures. Haaland is rising to the challenge and he is ready to finally do the business against Liverpool this weekend to signify that City are going to be in this title race all season long.
As their 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea last weekend proved, Spurs are struggling to create chances. Understatement alert. James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are all out injured, so that’s part of it, but they have looked clunky in attack and are generating just 9.7 shots per game
