Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits he will rotate Erling Haaland out of his line-up as games pile up.

The Norway forward has enjoyed his start at the club and in the Premier League so far.

Haaland netted in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United away from home on Sunday.

Asked about keeping Haaland fit throughout the season, Guardiola stated post-game: "Good food, good rest.

"People say the apartment he's bought has a good bed. Nothing special.

"What is important is he doesn't have niggles. Last season he didn't play 90 minutes because he was injured. The physios and doctors did an incredible job since he arrived to avoid injuries.

"Now he has one game a week. I tell you now when we have games every three days that Erling will not play, I will play Julian.

"One of my favourite players is Bernardo [Silva] and he did not play until today.

"Riyad [Mahrez] is by far one of my favourite players - especially on the biggest stages - and today he didn't play. When we start with games every three days, everyone is going to play."
