Haaland Urges Manchester City to Stay Positive After Guilty Verdict
Haaland said City must stay positive as the club appeals a verdict that could bring severe sanctions, including expulsion from the Premier League.
- Liverpool welcomes Manchester City to Anfield on Sunday, October 11, 2026, for a highly anticipated clash where tickets remain available for the rivals' encounter.
- The match follows the Premier League finding Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 financial charges, with City allegedly misreporting over $1.7 billion of revenue to skirt Financial Fair Play rules.
- City, which denies the allegations, used 'sham' sponsorship deals to inflate revenues by $1.2 billion; Liverpool finished second to Pep Guardiola's side twice in the past decade, fueling this grudge match.
- Liverpool reportedly lost attackers Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo to injury during the break, weakening their attack; Anfield's crowd is expected to create an intimidating environment for City.
- While City remains the only perfect team in the Premiership with five wins, legal appeals could drag the case beyond this season, with potential sanctions including points deductions that may rival relegation.
