Man City fans all say the same thing as Phil Foden starts in Premier League for first time

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has named his starting line-up for tonight’s critical Premier League clash against Cardiff City and Phil Foden has landed a start.

It’s a massive moment for the youngster, who has been used sparingly this season but still impressed in the chances he’s been given.

Foden has made 15 appearances over the last two seasons but has never started a match for the reigning champions.

Despite being at a critical point in the season as Man City look to jump above leaders Liverpool with a win at the Etihad, Guardiola has shown his confidence in the 18-year-old by handing him his first Premier League start.

It’s safe to say Man City fans love the call and particularly the decision to put him in the midfield alongside Kevin de Bruyne.

City supporters cannot wait to see Foden perform with many of them using his famous nickname in the social media reaction below.
