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

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.

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.

Piece from the Etihad Stadium today for @sportingnews.com

Dominik Szoboszlai is the victim of Arne Slot's Galactico fumble at Liverpool | Sporting News United Kingdom 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.

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.

When Ricky Hatton ruled the world: Boxing icon's forgotten run as an undefeated two-weight world champion | Sporting News United Kingdom The tributes paid to Ricky Hatton have been warm and overwhelming, but many only touched fleetingly on an incredible period of the British boxing great's career.

Ricky's funeral today. So many of the tributes have understandably jumped from Tszyu to Mayweather, but that bit in the middle was golden. Four wins, three world titles across two divisions. A long read on those days of possibility. What a ride.
