Man City wanted to see Phil Foden in the starting line up to face Leicester City in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola named a strong team as City look to strengthen their grip on second place in the table. The Blues currently sit four points ahead of the Foxes ahead of today's game.
City have a crucial Champions League tie on Wednesday against Real Madrid but no key players were rested for the game against Brendan Rodgers' men.
Aymeric Laporte partners Fernandinho in defence while Riyad Mahrez replaces Gabriel Jesus in attack following the Brazilian's below-par performance against West Ham.
In midfield, David Silva drops to the bench following an injury scare against the Hammers with Ilkay Gundogan taking his place alongside Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne.
City fans are pleased to see a strong team but wanted to see Foden replace Silva rather than Gundogan.
The 19-year-old hasn't started in the league since New Years Day against Everton.
Here is what City fans said on Twitter:

There is no point in not starting Foden, especially when you’re playing Gundogan

Foden is miles better than Gundogan

4 games in 10 days and Foden still on the bench for Gundogan
