Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland could feature in Saturday's Premier League game at Southampton after recovering from a groin injury, coach Pep Guardiola said on Friday.
Haaland missed out on Norway's Euro 2024 qualifiers against Spain and Georgia last month, as well as City's 4-1 win over Liverpool last Saturday.
Guardiola said the striker, who has scored 42 goals in 37 matches in all competitions, had recovered from the injury, telling reporters: "He trained the last two days, really good. He will be ready."
Haaland's return will provide a boost to City as they approach the home stretch of the campaign, with three trophies still up for grabs.
City, who are second in the league, eight points behind leaders Arsenal but with a game in hand, have also reached the quarter finals of the Champions League and semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Their coming run of fixtures will likely define their season, but Guardiola said his players are well accustomed to the pressure.
Tough test for Arsenal
Arsenal will need to be brave and at their very best if they are to snap their winless run at Anfield, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.
Arsenal have not won at Anfield in the Premier League since 2012, a game in which Arteta played. Since then they have suffered heavy defeats, including two 5-1 losses.
"We've been in a few grounds that we haven't won in 17, 22 years and we've managed to do that. So we're capable of doing it," Arteta said ahead of Sunday's game. "We know we'll have to be at our very best to win the game."
Manchester United, who face a resurgent Everton, will be without defender Luke Shaw for Saturday's game, but manager Erik ten Hag said Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen would be back in the squad.
