The trip over to Manchester's east side is always the same for Kyle Walker, a white chocolate mocha from Café Nero resting in his cup holder. Ordered on his phone, ready for collection. It offers a sense of routine before work.
He'll have a brief chat with the security guards at Manchester City's training base and head for his reserved space, right next to the entrance to a world where Pep Guardiola plots domination. A familiar feeling each time.
And that sense of deja vu is not just at the City Football Academy these days.
