Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai spoke about what it will be like to face his former Salzburg teammate Erling Haaland in his side's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Manchester City will host Liverpool for the Premier League matchday 13 fixture. A match with a great atmosphere is expected at the Etihad Stadium.

Both teams are in superb form as both sit in the top two places in the English top-flight table. The Reds have won three of their last five games against City, with the Sky Blues winning the last two most recently.

Dominik Szoboszlai, who is performing impressively for Liverpool in his first season at Anfield, will face Erling Haaland for the first time after being teammates at Salzburg.

"We got really close because we were both young. Great player. Great guy," he said in a interview with the 'BBC'. Moreover, the Hungarian midfielder revealed that the two are almost neighbours.

"He [Haaland] has a house and the two houses between us, then it's my house. When I came to sign, it was not official yet. I sent him a picture with a Liverpool shirt. He was like 'Oh, what's happening?'. And I said, 'Yeah, we're going to see each other.'

"And he said 'Congratulations. The Premier League is crazy'," he concluded.
