#2 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Having won back-to-back Premier League titles, the priority for Pep Guardiola's men is to challenge for the Champions League this time around and Raheem Sterling is expected to be pivotal for the Citizens if they hope to lift their first-ever UCL trophy next summer.
The Englishman has been a talismanic figure for City in recent seasons and has continued to score important goals under Pep, both domestically and in Europe. The 24-year-old winger has been in sensational goalscoring form among Europe's elite this term, managing five goals already after four matchdays - matching his tally from 18-19 in six fewer appearances.
Despite predominantly playing as a winger, his goalscoring return in recent seasons has continued to improve and there's no reason why he cannot challenge for the Champions League Golden Boot this term, etching his name in the history books.
