It looked like Pep Guardiola was up to his old tricks again.
Midway through the second half, with Manchester City 4-1 up against Championship leaders Fulham in the fourth round of the FA Cup, a bumper Etihad Stadium crowd was keen to see youth team standouts Liam Delap and James McAtee.
Guardiola promptly threw on Raheem Sterling (Fulham’s beleaguered defence must have been delighted) and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
