One of the biggest talking points this season has been Manchester City's excellent attacking game upfront, which shows from the fact that they have scored a whopping 46 goals in 15 games till now. They are averaging a magnificent number of three goals per game!

The Sky Blues have scored at least a one goal in every game they have played so far and have even netted five or more times in four games till now. This include a 5-0 thrashing of Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling find themselves among the top-5 goalscorers of the league with nine goals each whereas Gabriel Jesus is just behind them with eight goals in the season.

The assist chart completely belongs to City as three of their players are placed in top-five in the list. The architects of their midfield, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva, have set up eight goals each while Leroy Sane has assisted six goals.

This attacking power of City will be tested this weekend against a defensively strong opponent in the form of Jose Mourinho's men.
