Manchester City s Norwegian striker Erling Haaland looks on from his seat, missing the game through injury during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on April 1, 2023. AFP
The Norway international returned to training this week after a groin injury forced him to miss City's 4-1 victory over Liverpool last weekend.
Guardiola confirmed Haaland will be in the squad for the Premier League game ahead of a visit from Bayern Munich for a Champions League first-leg quarterfinal match on Tuesday.
Haaland, who has scored 42 goals in all competitions this season, had to withdraw from his country’s European Championship qualifiers against Spain and Georgia two weeks ago because of the injury.
Haaland leads the Premier League scoring charts with 28 goals and has hit nine in his last three games in all competitions.
City trails first-place Arsenal by eight points.
