Foden renaissance poses Grealish dilemma
Even when injured, Phil Foden wouldn't have got into the Manchester City team over the last few weeks. Now he's arguably been man of the match three games running and looks back to his best. After nine starts in a row, Jack Grealish felt undroppable, with the fact he was rested for the FA Cup underlining his great form. It only takes one game out to lose your place in this City side, though, and Grealish may have been watching uncomfortably at Foden's electric performance at Bristol City.
Foden's last two starts came on the right, to accommodate Grealish on the left. Back on the left and supported by Bernardo Silva, Foden had the beating of his full-back all night and timed his runs perfectly to score two well-deserved goals. On this form (three goals and an assist in three games), Foden will be the one racking up the consecutive starts.
