    Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Erling Haaland is available for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa. The Norwegian striker was rested during City’s 5-1 Champions League victory over AEK Athens but is fit to return as the leaders aim to extend their perfect domestic start.

    Haaland has scored 12 goals in nine matches across competitions this season. Maresca confirmed that the forward was fully available while Matheus Nunes, Nico O’Reilly and Mateo Kovačić remained doubtful pending fitness assessments. City have won all seven opening Premier League matches and hold a three-point lead over Arsenal. Maresca said the squad remains focused on improving rather than celebrating its early position.

    Concacaf has approved Haiti’s request to stage its Nations League quarter-final home leg against the United States in Miami. Both matches of the two-legged tie will consequently take place on American soil, with the first leg scheduled for 14 November and the return match in Cincinnati three days later.

    Haiti has been unable to host international matches within its borders because of continuing gang violence and security concerns. The first leg was originally planned for Kingston, Jamaica, but Concacaf approved an exceptional arrangement allowing Haiti to use a venue inside the opposing country’s territory. The Miami match will take place at Nu Stadium. Future requests will still require individual approval from Concacaf and the opposing national association.
