Man City fans have sent a Riyad Mahrez selection message to Pep Guardiola ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final.
City have the chance to become the first team in English football history to win a domestic treble when they take on Watford at Wembley, after already winning the Carabao Cup and retaining the Premier League.
They won the race to the title by a single point over Liverpool on the final day of the season thanks to a 4-1 victory over Brighton, but it's easy to forget the nerves and worry before the game.
Many City fans were shocked when the team news was announced and Mahrez was making his first start since the 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals to Tottenham.

It had been a difficult first season for City's record signing after missing a crucial penalty in the 0-0 draw with Liverpool earlier in the season and only making two appearances in the league in 2019.
Yet Guardiola gave him the nod on the final day and he didn't disappoint.
City were leading 2-1 but the nerves were clearly still palpable until Mahrez sold Brighton defender Lewis Dunk a magnificent dummy and blasted the ball into the corner of the net.

It was a great moment for Mahrez and as a result City fans have called for him keep his place in the team and start in the FA Cup final.
MEN Sport asked City fans 'Do you think Riyad Mahrez should feature for City in the FA Cup Final this weekend?' and 48% of 1,032 voters said 'yes, start him.'
41% did vote 'yes, but from the bench' however only 11% he shouldn't feature at all. which is a massive change from the reaction his selection received prior to Brighton.
