Riyad Mahrez starting is a big shock, maybe Kevin de Bruyne was not fit enough, but you thought he would have gone with Phil Foden in midfield or Leroy Sane wide. It is hit and miss because of his consistency.
It is a massive opportunity for Mahrez - it is a game he can do well in. I’m just wondering what Pep Guardiola was thinking about it. Maybe that was that the one position he wasn’t sure about.
