If Saturday's 20-minute cameo is anything to go by, Manchester City is the best place to be for Phil Foden right now.
There has been much clamour for Foden, 18, to be given a chance by Pep Guardiola following his exploits with England's World Cup-winning Under-17s, and indeed the Catalan's own high praise of the youngster.
The reality of the situation means Foden will not get on the pitch every weekend, but weeks like these highlight the value of keeping him at the Etihad Stadium, rather than loan him out for what many would consider valuable, more regular first-team football.
