Former English professional footballer Chris Sutton has expressed confidence in Manchester City’s Erling Haaland’s ability to score against Newcastle United in their upcoming match. This prediction comes after Manchester City’s recent 1-1 draw with title rivals Liverpool in the Premier League.

As Manchester City gears up for their FA Cup quarter-final showdown against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium, Sutton, who now works as a pundit, believes that Haaland will make an impact on the scoresheet. In his column for BBC Sport, Sutton mentioned Haaland’s impressive performance in the previous FA Cup round, where he scored five goals against Luton Town.

Haaland, 23, has been in top form this season, finding the back of the net 29 times in 33 games across all competitions. His attacking prowess is evident in the Premier League, where he leads in the number of shots on target per 90 minutes. Given Newcastle’s defensive struggles, having kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 league games, Haaland poses a significant threat to their backline.

Sutton’s prediction is backed by statistics and recent performances, making it plausible for Haaland to continue his goal-scoring streak in the upcoming match. With City eager to progress in the FA Cup and maintain their strong form, Haaland’s ability to find the back of the net could play a crucial role in securing a victory against Newcastle.
