Manchester City reminded everyone why they remain Premier League favorites after Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland led them to victory Friday night. When Pep Guardiola's attack gets rolling, the rest of the league should worry. Cherki and Haaland connected effectively, demonstrating the kind of clinical finishing that separates champions from pretenders. City's depth at forward gives them options most teams can't match. They have the weapons to mount a real challenge to Arsenal's title credentials. The key for City has always been consistency. They can beat anyone on their day. Friday showed exactly what that looks like when all the pieces align. Guardiola will need this form to stick if they want to close the gap at the top.
