Haaland limped off after City's win over Ipswich Town last weekend and was an unused substitute in midweek, when Phil Foden stepped up with a hat-trick in his absence.
City coach Enzo Maresca has confirmed that the Norwegian striker is fit to return at Villa Park, providing a boost ahead of a challenging away fixture.
However, City are still waiting to assess Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic and Nico O'Reilly, with all three facing late fitness tests.
"We have a session this afternoon. They could all be available or not in terms of if there is still doubt," Maresca said.
"Yesterday they were all improving, so we will see this afternoon. Erling is the only one 100 per cent available and the other three we need to wait to the session."
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has urged everyone at the club, including the players and himself, to improve ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth.
Joao Pedro has revealed how an early conversation with Cole Palmer helped build a friendship that has become central to Chelsea's attacking success.
Bournemouth continued their perfect start to the Europa League league phase with a 3-0 victory over AC Milan, while Crystal Palace drew 2-2 with Besiktas in Istanbul and Juventus were held by Rennes by the same scoreline on Thursday.
Enzo Maresca has made it his mission to help Phil Foden rediscover his best form and re-establish himself as one of England's leading players after the Manchester City midfielder ended his goal drought in spectacular fashion.
