Haaland claims he’s “never felt better,” citing routines around recovery, diet and focus. With 18 goals in 14 for City and leading the Golden Boot race, he frames Arsenal’s slip as an opening to trim the gap entering the break. City’s attack is calibrated to early runs, second-phase cutbacks and Haaland’s first-time finishing. Liverpool must manage depth behind their line and deny Doku/De Bruyne service zones. Fitness and rhythm—and set-piece margins—likely decide possession-tilt games between pressing teams.
