Jeremy Doku's stunning form is dragging Manchester City's title defence over the line. The Belgium international opened the scoring with a curling finish in Saturday's 3-0 win over Brentford, marking his third successive goal in all competitions for the first time in his City career.

The 23-year-old has been unstoppable, with seven goal involvements in his past six games - matching his total from the previous 24 matches. Pep Guardiola praised his transformation, saying big players have the mentality to win games themselves. Former defender Ashley Williams told BBC: "From a defender's point of view, I am not sure I would know how to stop him."

The title race now hinges on Arsenal's trip to West Ham on Sunday. Should the Gunners win, the trophy is theirs with two games remaining. If they slip up, City face Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Guardiola admitted he would "take a look" at the match while his sister visits.
