The pressure is on Haaland and Nunez to provide evidence they can justify their hefty price tags over the coming months.
Erling Haaland will lead Manchester CIty's attack in the Community Shield match against Liverpool on Saturday.
The pair represent over £100 million of goalscoring firepower as the rivalry between City and Liverpool intensifies. Guardiola sanctioned the sales of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal, while Raheem Sterling joined Chelsea and Fernandinho returned to Athletico Paranaense. The 22-year-old’s ability to mesh with City’s array of creative talents is one of the key storylines that will define the title race.
Jurgen Klopp’s team came within two games of football immortality after spending the second half of the season engaged in a thrilling chase to win an unprecedented quadruple. The months since that agonising finale have seen Liverpool finally end speculation over Mohamed Salah’s future by tying the Egypt star to a new contract.
