I think how the Premier League is, it all comes down to being up there and to then, in the last few months, be the best team," said Haaland to City's website.
That is how you have to do it. It is going to be a really massive game and there are loads of upcoming nice games over the next months. That is why we play football, because of these games.
They have got some great players as well. They have bought some new players too. (Dominik) Szoboszlai is amazing.
Liverpool have many great players, but the good thing is that we also have many good players.
We need to be brave when we play our football, and we need to be ready. We will try to beat them."
He also said: I try and help the team with the way that I play and with my goals.
Last season was amazing, but it is history. This season is a whole new thing, so I cannot think about (goal targets).
I would be crazy to think about this. I have to think about things game by game and to try to help the team win games. That is my main focus."
On the impact of fit-again Kevin De Bruyne, Haaland added: He is a fantastic footballer and with him things click.
I enjoy playing with him and of course when one player gets injured it is not good for the team.
Injuries are a big part of football sadly, and you have to try to make the best out of it when people are injured. They have to come back stronger."
