Pep Guardiola sends scary warning to Man City rivals with Alvarez and Haaland admission

Haaland once again started on the bench as City defeated Chelsea 2-0 in the Carabao Cup third round, meaning that Julian Alvarez started up-front as City's lone striker for the fourth successive game in all competitions.

Alvarez's goals tally now stands at seven in 19 appearances, not bad at all given he has to live largely in Haaland's shadow.
