“I remember after the Community Shield, where a lot of people have been writing him off, I remember I was saying, ‘listen, this guy is going to cause so many defenders nightmares’.
“He has shown it, he has been showing a consistent level and, obviously, in a team like City where chances will always come.
“We have to try to stop the balls going to him, defend at the highest level, and be at our best, and that is what we always have to be against City and that is not going to be any different on Sunday. We want to stop them from scoring, regardless of who it is on the pitch. But we know he’s quite good.”
