Manchester City v SSC Napoli - UEFA Champions League
Kyle Walker

Looks like Kyle Walker has made it a mission to prove Mauricio Pochettino wrong about him being past his best.

Walker is currently joint-second for assists by defenders with 3 in 8 games and, with Manchester City running on full steam offensively, he has a good chance to add more to his name. To complement his attacking numbers he has also amassed 5 clean sheets in 8 games so far this season.

This week he faces a Burnley side at the Etihad, who have become a nightmare of sorts away from home this season. But they are expected to sit back at the Etihad as City cannot be given any space at the back. 5 out of Walker's next 7 opponents score 2 on the FDR, so he is a safe bet going long term.

With Man City in full flow right now expect Walker to be on the pedal all game long.
