Guardiola made nine changes from the team that beat Aston Villa on Saturday for this tie, but was still able to start strikers Gabriel Jesus and Aguero together for the first time this season.

There was also a senior debut for 18-year-old midfielder Tommy Doyle, a Manchester-born City fan who is the grandson of two club legends, Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe and, like Phil Foden, is a highly-rated graduate of the club's academy.

Doyle and Foden joined Bernardo Silva in a City midfield that completely dominated possession - seeing 89% of the ball at one stage - and had almost total control of a game often played at a walking pace.

• Nigel O Driscoll Who do you think will take over from Guardiola, will it be Arteta or could it be someone else in the Guardiola mold like Luis Enrique. Also do you expect Guardiola to extend his contract again with City or will he just see it out. I’d like you guys to discuss those questions if you’ve not done before.

• Simon Maansen How can we improve the atmosphere at Etihad? Real suggestions which havent been tried yet.

Taylor Harwood Bellis and Garcia to start?

Oussema Kelmemi

If we decided to go on a hunt for a center back in january, Would benfica's Ruben Dias be a good fit for our team? And if not what are the other options?

Hershi Silva Loki Oussema Kelmemi no, no thanks, Nathan Ake is ready made and would cost fraction of what Dias would cost, do you remember the lost time we got a defender from Portuguese league?

--

Ger Browne I'd like to hear a discussion on some City fans lack of interest in UCL. It divides a lot of fans.

Barbara Mellor Hinchy Why please do the stewards checking us at the entrances want us to open our coats and remove our hats, it's Manchester for god sake were cold enough.

CITY VS WOLVES

Champions Manchester City fell eight points behind Liverpool in the title race after suffering a shock home defeat against Wolves.

It is 20 years since Wolves last beat City away from Molineux

Manchester City have lost a Premier League match at Etihad Stadium without scoring for the first since March 2016 against Manchester United (0-1), with Manuel Pellegrini in charge.

Guardiola has a 25% win rate in all competitions against Nuno Espirito Santo (1/4) - of managers Guardiola has faced at least three times while in charge of Manchester City, only against Ronald Koeman (0%) and Jurgen Klopp (22%) does he have a worse win rate.

What's next?

Manchester City will look to get their faltering title bid back on track when they travel to Crystal Palace - one of the few teams to beat them last season - on 19 October

FAN QUESTIONS

Gearoid Hanrahan wants to discuss Lack of game time for Harwood bellis/ Eric Garcia 

Theo Lawrance asks who are Realistic January signing? 

I'm sure you all agree we'd a new CB since we currently only have 1 fit at the moment and he seems to be on a rough patch at the moment. Also, how long do you think it will be till we win the UCL?

Ste Hakin - I'd like a conversation about the very subtle differences between Fernandinho & Rodri. It's my belief that these differences are allowing us to have a soft centre. What can be done ?
