How many league goals will Haaland score this season?

We'll rotate a lot come the knock-out games in the CL and the cup games in March and April. I guess Haaland will get 28-30 league starts. So, 33 league goals are a genuine possibility.
 
He’ll definitely beat the PL record of 34 this season

I don’t think even big Erling can have any hope at all of getting anywhere near Dixie Dean’s top flight record though.

There was an article in The Athletic where they said Pep's rotation policy was a positive for Haaland when he was deciding who to sign for. Given he's in a stage where his body is still developing and he's already had lots of minor injuries, not having the pressure to play every week was a bonus.

That’s my point. At Dortmund he would get an injury and the prognosis would be that he would be back in say three weeks and then they rushed him back in two weeks and he would break down, that will not happen at City.
 
Fitness permitting, probably not as many as is being suggested. Salah is getting 30+ goals because he plays every minute, his numbers are greatly boosted by bagging goals in the last 10 minutes of easy wins when the game is over, Haaland won't be on the pitch for us during those times he will be wrapped in cotton wool by Pep at every available opportunity. Peps never done sentiment, the amount of times he's taken players off who are on hattricks shows he does not care one bit about individual things. Haaland probably gets a hattrick against West ham if he does the full 90, every chance he gets 4 had he done the 90 against Palace. He's going to miss 10-15 goals easily from being subbed once the jobs done.

Purely for that reason, 25 in the league and probably not top scorer. It's his goals to minute ratio that will be more impressive, that will be miles ahead of any other.
 
Most goals in a PL season (38 games): Mohamed Salah - 32
Most goals in a PL season (42 games): Alan Shearer, Andy Cole - 34

If he stays fit I think there's a real chance he could break both records.

Hadn’t thought of it like that, fair comment
