It hasn't been the greatest start to the season for Phil Foden but Tuesday's performance against Sevilla may be the start of something exciting.

Jack Grealish has made little impact or been sidelined, while Riyad Mahrez hasn't rediscovered his excellent form of last season, which is why Foden has remained in the starting XI despite being below par.
