Erling Haaland’s record vs Everton should give David Moyes nightmares

David Moyes, Everton's manager, is concerned about facing Erling Haaland in the upcoming Premier League match against Manchester City on Saturday, 18 October, as Everton aims to continue their positive start to the season.

Everton will be without Jack Grealish, who scored a dramatic late winner in their previous game against Crystal Palace, due to loan rules preventing him from playing against his parent club. Grealish may have to watch from the sidelines, hoping his friend Haaland does not dominate the match, despite Haaland regularly checking on his progress with Everton.

Erling Haaland has started the season in brilliant form, leading the league with nine goals in seven matches. His record against Everton is remarkable, with four goals in four matches and no losses against them. Since joining City ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, he has scored 94 goals, while Everton have managed 125 in the same period.

Everton must find a way to contain Haaland, which is easier said than done, as his performance could severely impact their chances of a positive result. Defensively, James Tarkowski may partner with Jake O'Brien due to Michael Keane's injury from the win over Palace, adding uncertainty to their lineup.

If Everton can stop Haaland, they might end a 17-match winless streak against City in all competitions, but this is a mammoth task given his current form and scoring prowess.
