Manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that is not his position, highlighted by the five goals he has scored so far, and although O'Reilly watched the likes of Yaya Toure and David Silva growing up, he was keen to stress he is his own man.

De Bruyne has scored 30 Premier League goals since turning 30 years old, with Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure the only players to score more for City with 41 apiece.

Manchester City have made Wembley their second home since beating rivals Manchester United in the 2011 FA Cup semi-finals, before edging past Stoke courtesy of Yaya Toure's winner in the final which laid the foundations for the trophy-laden years that have followed.

The response continued a long-established policy of Guardiola referring to individuals he has a problem with as "Mr", which includes former player Joao Cancelo, ex-midfielder Yaya Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk and Kevin Parker, general secretary of the Manchester City supporters' club, who got embroiled in a spat over attendances.

Previously, Palmer had scored all 12 of his penalty kicks in the Premier League, beating the record for perfect attempts held previously by former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.
