Pep Guardiola is always keen on giving youngsters a chance and decided to hand the 17-year-old his first start for Manchester City in search of a win to extend their unbeaten run so far this season.
The Spanish coach made several changes to the squad, most noticeably the England Under-17 star who lifted the World Cup trophy in said category earlier this year.
Foden and Brahim are two examples of young unpolished talent who have convinced Guardiola. In Ukraine, it was the English teenager's turn to prove himself.
