What happened: Fabrizio Romano highlighted Jérémy Doku's surge of four goals and two assists across Manchester City's last four matches. That run spans contributions against Burnley, Southampton, Everton and Brentford, including a goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over Brentford and a late brace in Monday's 3-3 draw at Everton.

Why it matters: Doku's form has become central to City's push to keep pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League race. It also extends the recent trend noted in Guardiola's praise of Doku's evolution, with City needing end product as the title margin tightens.

What to watch: Arsenal's next league match at West Ham on Sunday, May 10, 2026 now carries immediate title-race weight. City next face Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa as they try to turn Doku's form into a late surge.
