Pep Guardiola is confident Julian Alvarez will reach his potential with Manchester City after the striker scored for a third game in a row.
Alvarez netted the second goal in the 2-0 Carabao Cup third-round success against Chelsea and once again shone in the absence of Erling Haaland, who was an unused substitute as he rested an ankle injury.
The Argentine striker has relished playing the leading role with Haaland struggling with the ongoing issue and Guardiola was delighted with his pressing and his ability to always be on hand for half chances against Chelsea.
