Manchester City academy players look so happy when Haaland walks next to them!

The prolific Norwegian striker has been a revelation in the Premier League this season, with a treble against Wolves – his fourth of the campaign – taking him to 25 goals in the English top-flight. City have had to change their system slightly to incorporate the 22-year-old frontman, leading some to suggest that he may be the cause of uncharacteristic struggles for consistency as a collective, but Guardiola has no doubts that Haaland will be a key man for City whenever he is available for selection.

Haaland has scored his fourth Premier League hat-trick for Man City in what is just his 19th appearance, the fewest games taken to score four hat-tricks in the competition’s history (previous record was 65 apps by Ruud van Nistelrooy).

Haaland has only failed to find the target in seven of his 26 appearances for City, with 31 goals recorded across all competitions, and Arsenal will be in his sights on Friday when the Gunners pay a visit to the Etihad Stadium for a heavyweight FA Cup fourth-round clash.
