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.

Pep Guardiola fielded Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden in tandem against transitional kings Bournemouth. He will have enjoyed the results; Erling Haaland certainly did.

Dominik Szoboszlai was a mainstay for Liverpool last season. A brilliant, selfless presser, an unsung hero of a No. 10. Him getting shunted around all over the shop highlights much of what's wrong with the champions right now.

Dominik Szoboszlai has variously been Liverpool's best central midfielder, attacking midfielder and right-back this season. He is being shunted around to accommodate Arne Slot's flailing star players.
