THERE is an ominous look about Manchester City as the champions set their sights on a record fourth straight Premier League title.
With Kevin De Bruyne back to his best after a five-month injury lay-off and Erling Haaland returning following a 10-game absence, Pep Guardiola's men seem formidable.
Since losing at Aston Villa on December 6, they have taken 16 points from 18, been crowned world champions and remain on course to repeat last season's Treble.
Julian Alvarez may have marked his 24th birthday with two goals to set City on their way to a routine win, but the night belonged to De Bruyne and Haaland, above.
Making his first start since the opening weekend of the season - also against Burnley - De Bruyne ran the game, providing a sublime assist for City's second goal and playing a part in the third.
The Belgium midfielder chased down every ball as if his life depended on it.
