Pep Guardiola wasted no time in ringing the changes in his first match in charge of Manchester City.
There was no Joe Hart, Yaya Toure or Eliaquim Mangala in his team, but there were starts for Raheem Sterling, new signings John Stones and Nolito, and a deep-lying role for David Silva.
Cleary, Pep will do it his way and won't mind making a big decision or two.
NEW ROLE FOR SILVA
The twinkle-toed Spaniard suffered last season with a dodgy ankle. So Guardiola played him next to Fernandinho where he thrived on the extra time and space.
