It’s really positive to see for the former Villa man ahead of a season where he is expected to show how much he has improved. The resulting corner sees the 'keeper fouled in the area Grealish is seeing so much of the ball in this half. The youngster lands awkwardly and the City physios are on to treat his shoulder. Calm and composed for the most part, and a good first run-out for the season. Win is definitely a positive and it was great to see the youngsters make an appearance Haaland was spotted on the bench in casual gear as he watched his new teammates take part in an intense fixture.

Dropped in at centre-back, Phillips looked calm in possession, although had to be told where to be at times, which is to be expected as he has only had a fortnight training under Guardiola and has been playing in the wrong position. Beating the defence with ease every time, and reacted well to the persistent rough treatment. Then his assist for De Bruyne on the stroke of half time was sublime. Sloppy in possession at times, giving the ball away in dangerous areas, but some useful positional work and signs that the form will return with fitness. Some lovely quick feet to keep or win back possession and sent a message to Phillips of the level needed to play in the holding role. Calm and composed for the most part, and a good first run-out for the season.
