The previous week’s performance for Manchester City has demonstrated that the Jeremy Doku vs. Jack Grealish debate is unnecessary.

In the previous two victories between Manchester United and Bournemouth, each City player demonstrated their worth. Pep Guardiola’s squad is fortunate to contain both of these players.

During yesterday’s triumph over Bournemouth, Doku displayed every one of his qualities. His aptitude for playmaking was evident, as was his prowess in defeating men. As man-of-the-match, Doku tormented the Cherries defense throughout the entire match.

In his finest performance to date for City, he contributed four assists and one goal. Assisting Bernardo Silva for City’s second goal of the 6-1 victory represented the Belgian international at his peak. Before laying the ball on a platter for Bernardo to slot home, Chris Mepham was rendered hopeless by Doku’s pass.

On City’s left flank, Jack Grealish was favored for the Manchester derby. The England international was in fine form as City defeated their regional rivals 3–0. Alongside Bernardo Silva, Grealish delivered his most impressive performance of the season as they tore through the United defense.

Their link-up play was in perfect sync when Erling Haaland scored the derby’s second goal. In the victory, the former Aston Villa player’s significance to Pep Guardiola’s squad was evident for more than ninety minutes.

Jeremy Doku or Jack Grealish will start on the champion’s left wing depending on the circumstances. When facing defensive-minded opponents like Bournemouth, Doku’s capability to both score and beat a man is an indispensable asset.

Grealish’s strengths, including his ability to generate opportunities and maintain possession, are crucial when facing counterthreat offenses.

A pointless debate between Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish; City are fortunate to have both.
