Overview

• Pep Guardiola lauded Doku's sharper decision-making in the final third and called him an "incredible threat" against low blocks.
• Squawka data shows Doku is one of only two Premier League players with 10+ completed take-ons and 10+ chances created this season, alongside Mohammed Kudus, with both on three assists.
• Doku recorded 21 touches in Burnley’s box on 27 September and is the only City player under Guardiola to exceed 20 opposition-box touches in a Premier League match, doing so three times.
• The winger has three Premier League assists without a league goal so far, and he has five goal contributions in seven appearances across all competitions this season.
• Analysts argue his surge reflects Guardiola’s summer tweaks to free attackers, with goals identified as the final step for Doku to maximize his impact on City’s campaign.
