Manchester City face Juventus on Matchday 3 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but star striker Erling Haaland is notably not in the starting lineup for the English side. Manchester City and Juventus square off this Thursday in a high-profile Group G clash to close out the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
