Huddersfield Town v Manchester City - Premier League

Leroy Sane is an integral part of Pep Guardiola's system at Manchester City, where his speed and trickery is put to great use by the Spanish Manager. The German winger has been in sensational form this season and has already amassed eight goals and nine assists from 25 appearances in the Premier League.

Sane has appeared in the left wing position for almost all games this season and it is from here that the German winger has terrorized the opposition defenses. In addition to his Premier League heroics, Sane has also been sensational in the UEFA Champions League too. He has four goals and four assists in the tournament. In the round of 16 tie at home vs former side Schalke, he was his scintillating best as he scored one goal and set up three.

As of now, the German has 14 goals and 16 assists from 38 games in all competitions this season and shows no signs of stopping any time soon.
