Manchester City's prolific striker Erling Haaland is on the brink of breaking two Champions League records tonight as his side faces Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad. Haaland, 26, has scored 59 goals in 59 Champions League matches.

If Haaland plays tonight, he could surpass Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of 48 goals in a player's first 60 Champions League games. He is also currently level with Sergio Agüero on 36 goals as City's joint-record scorer in the competition, a record he could break this evening.

Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City side welcomes the Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad tonight at 8pm, with coverage on TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max. City have maintained a 100 per cent start to the season in the Premier League, winning all six games, and beat Porto 2-0 in their first Champions League group stage match.

PSG, who are the current Champions League holders, won their opening group game 6-1 against Slovan Bratislava. However, their Ligue 1 season began with two draws and a defeat to Monaco, though they have since won their last three matches to move to sixth in the league table.
