City host Andoni Iraola’s high-flying Cherries at the Etihad Stadium in a 16:30 (UK) kick-off this Sunday.
Haaland suffered a knock late on in last Sunday’s defeat to Aston Villa and sat out the midweek Carabao Cup trip to Swansea City, but the boss says he’s ready to go.
Asked in Friday’s press conference whether the No.9 is fit to face Bournemouth, Guardiola simply said: “Yeah.”

Meanwhile, Rodri hasn’t featured since the win over Brentford before the October international break.
However, Guardiola believes the midfielder is now able to feature but remains unsure whether that will be from the start.
“I think he’ll be ready to help, I don’t know if from the beginning but hopefully he can be with us,” he said.
“He’s been out a few times and we know how important he is for us.”

Bournemouth come to Manchester second in the Premier League with 18 points from their first nine games.
We’ve won all eight previous Premier League meetings between the sides at the Etihad, scoring 31 goals and conceding just five.
Asked how far the south coast side can go this season, Guardiola played it straight.
“That’s a question for Iraola,” he stated.
“I would say it’s just nine games but also in previous seasons they’re consistent.
“The team, manager, players, a tough opponent, but we know that.”
