FC Bayern Munich v Manchester City - International Champions Cup 2018 — All eyes will be on the highly rated winger Riyad Mahrez (right)

#1 Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City)

Riyad Mahrez lit up the Premier League with his extraordinary performances in the 2015-16 season, banking on which Leicester City claimed an unexpected Premier League title. Ever since then, he has been linked with multiple big clubs but the Foxes managed to keep their prized asset safe and secure up until now.

However, Leicester finally granted his wish this summer as the Algerian signed for Pep Guardiola's men. His vast repertoire of skills and tricks is not unknown to the City fans. The only concern for Guardiola is the ankle injury he suffered in the pre-season game against Bayern Munich.

While the latest reports suggest he is fit enough to start the match, Pep might not take a risk at the start of the season.
