Haaland is also a player who has a knack for scoring goals in August. Since the 2022/23 season, Haaland has scored 13 goals in August, which is more than the achievements of Chelsea ( 11 goals) and Man Utd (9 goals) during this time.

After the win over Chelsea, manager Pep Guardiola said: “I’m surprised with the result. We weren’t at our best so three points is good news. The bad news is we have 65 games left.

We have an advantage, this is the ninth season together so we know each other well. Of course, there are mistakes that the team needs to improve but we have talked about that. The difference in becoming champions is body language. How do we need to show this?”

In round two of the Premier League, Man City will return home to welcome newly promoted Ipswich Town.
