IT’S LIKE DAVID v CITY’S GOLIATH...

ON paper, Erling Haaland against Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez is a complete mismatch. The Man City striker is seven inches taller and more than a stone and a half heavier.

8 HEADERS at goal by Haaland in the Premier League this season, only Aleksandar Mitrovic (12) has attempted more. Only Harry Kane

(4) has scored more headed goals this season than Haaland’s two.

DESPITE his height, Martinez has held his own in the air since his arrival in England, whereas Haaland has often come off second best.

11 HEADED clearances by Martinez this season, as many as 6ft 4in Virgil van Dijk. 22% HAALAND has won 22 per cent of aerial duels this season, Martinez has won 63 per cent.
