3. Ruben Dias vs Erling Haaland
This battle could be the beginning of a rivalry for years to come, one of the best strikers in the world against one of the best defenders. Ruben Dias' impact on the Manchester City team has been impeccable.
Many compare this to how Van Dijk transformed the Liverpool team into a powerhouse. The stats also confirm such claims. The Portuguese defender conceded only three goals in sixteen matches during City's twenty-match winning streak.
Erling Haaland has been one of the most consistent players over the last couple of seasons. Many people see him as the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Having already scored ten goals in the Champions League this season, he leads the race for the golden boot.
His league form is no different, with 19 goals and four assists from 20 matches. Both Haaland and Dias will be looking to make a mark against arguably the most formidable opponents they could face today.
