Erling Haaland backed to beat Shearer 100-goal record on Toon hero’s home turfPep Guardiola hopes to see Manchester City striker Erling Haaland break Alan Shearer’s record as the fastest man to reach 100 Premier League goals on the former England captain’s old St James’ Park stomping ground this weekend.“It would be good because that means he’s scored goals!” Guardiola said. “Alan Shearer has been so far the greatest top scorer in this league and whatever happens with Erling in his career here, Alan Shearer will still be top (for) his quality to score goals.”The Spaniard has added: “You don’t have to know mathematics to realise that if he (Haaland) stays a long, long time and continues this average, he will be close to Harry Kane and close to Alan Shearer, that’s for sure. But I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, to be honest.” Will Castle22 November 15:05Predicted lines-upsNewcastle XI – Pope, Trippier; Thiaw, Botman; Hall, Tonali, Guimaraes and Joelinton.
