Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reiterated his lack of concern over the charges that still loom over the club, as Liverpool continue to watch on for any developments. The Premier League issued more than 100 charges to City in 2022 for alleged historical breaches in the competition, with a three-person panel hearing the evidence towards the end of last year.
A verdict is yet to be confirmed, with the Manchester Evening News reporting that one is expected to arrive soon. Potential punishments have been rumoured to range from fines to significant points deductions if City are found guilty.
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League table and 22 points ahead of City, who are fifth in the table. The Reds are the overwhelming favourites to win the league title this season, while City's only chance of winning a major trophy this season is the FA Cup.
City have maintained their innocence over the charges issued in their direction by the Premier League. Haaland has explained why he is not worried about the 115 charges that are still hanging over the club, citing the nine-and-a-half-year contract extension that he signed back in January.
"I don't do that, obviously, when I sign a nine-and-a-half-year contract," Haaland told reporters while on international duty with Norway when asked if he has any concerns about the charges by the Premier League.
"I've said 300 times why I signed the contract. I talked to the club, got a good feeling and agreed to it in the end. That's why."
Liverpool have already played City twice this season, winning both matches by a 2-0 scoreline at Anfield and the Etihad Stadium. If City win the FA Cup and the Reds are crowned Premier League champions, their next meeting could come in next season's Community Shield.
