Kids before new record please, Pep

-

MANCHESTER CITY could easily win their next five games and break the 100-point barrier.

It would be an incredible achievemen­t if they did.

But I think manager Pep Guardiola, rather than worry about a points record, should give Phil Foden and a couple of the other young City lads a run in the last five games.

When Guardiola and his men report back to begin preparatio­ns for their title defence in July, what will have the most relevance?

Will it be the fact City broke a points record or the fact Foden (above) and others scored a couple of goals, got plenty of minutes on the pitch, and felt a bigger part of the squad than ever before?

It’s an absolute no-brainer.
