This was never on the cards when Pep Guardiola spent more than €250 million in the summer transfer window. Manchester City have backups for every place in their star-studded lineup.

Pep is always aware of the potential of these two youngsters and gave them a lot of game time during the summer tour of United States. Phil Foden impressed against Manchester United, while Brahim Diaz scored against Real Madrid during the summer tour. Foden was also the star behind England's U-17 World Cup success in India.

With a lot of clubs showing interest, Pep is always aware of the need to show he trusts them. Already in the round of 16, this was the perfect chance for Pep to give his youngsters a chance and he obliged.

He gave all-important Manchester City debuts to Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz. Though they were cameo appearances, expect them to get some more game time during the busy winter fixtures.
