Phil Foden has made it IMPOSSIBLE for Pep Guardiola to leave him out of his Man City team ahead of pivotal title clash against Liverpool... the starlet has been hailed as 'phenomenal' after some superb displays - and he LOVES playing against the Reds

Even when Phil Foden isn't in the starting XI, he seems to find a way to show his manager that he should be.

The 21-year-old is having a great season at the Etihad - there is no doubt about that - but Pep Guardiola likes to keep him on his toes. Two of his last three games for Manchester City have seen him come on from the bench - and in both of those matches he provided either a goal or an assist.

But it was his salvo in City's last game - setting up Kevin de Bruyne's strike against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals - that was most impressive, with his impact almost immediately felt as his assist came just 80 seconds after he was thrown into the action.
