WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE: FODEN

Phil Foden is relishing "six more finals" after helping Manchester City keep in control of the English Premier League title race by reaching the landmark of 50 top-flight goals.

The England midfielder hit his half-century with the first of his two strikes in the 4-0 hammering of Brighton & Hove Albion on April 25 - the victory meant that City are one point behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola's side continue their quest to become champions for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season at relegation threatened Nottingham Forest on April 28.

They then face Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United before a second successive FA Cup final against Manchester United.
