In October, Dalton Smith was among the mourners at Ricky Hatton's funeral. Tonight, against the dangerous Subriel Matias in Brooklyn, he will attempt to become another British world champion at 10 stone.

Yeah, I also think Cherki is key to that functionality. In this run of six wins, he didn't start Leeds and Fulham, which were absolute chaos. He's started the four since, arguably the best player in every single one. Four clean sheets, Madrid the only goal conceded.
December 17, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Ideal scenario for City is Haaland being fit and scoring all season. But 14 out of 18 goals in the past six games have been scored by other players and Cherki-Foden false 9s tonight looked pretty saucy.

Cherki and Foden give Guardiola solution to Man City's nightmare Haaland scenario | Sporting News United Kingdom
Erling Haaland put his feet up when Manchester City beat Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals. Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden showed he might be able to do that more often.

Erling Haaland came out for a chat after "a chaos game" at Craven Cottage.

"This period right now is about getting the points because it's a tough period. The league is not finished by Christmas, but you need to be there."

Nice to be back on with the lads. Is Jeremy Doku's form down to Pep or God? We couldn't possibly say.

City are the top scorers in the Premier League with 20. Haaland has 13 of them. But Rayan Cherki showed today he can be a path to goals for Haaland, himself and others.

Why Rayan Cherki can solve Man City's numbers problem | Sporting News United Kingdom
Pep Guardiola fielded Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden in tandem against transitional kings Bournemouth. He will have enjoyed the results; Erling Haaland certainly did.

If you like my book selling moderately more copies than a children's book about Declan Rice, you should come to the launch party tomorrow night!*
