The Argentine hasn’t started as prominently for the Cityzens this term, courtesy Pep Guardiola’s tendency to regularly shuffle his striking pack. However, despite starting only two-thirds of City’s league games, Sergio Aguero has rippled the net 9 times and has laid on a couple of assists as well.

Thus, if the forward gets the nod against Chelsea, he could be one of the men to watch out for, not just because he represents a striker in form but also because he enjoys playing against the Blues.

In his time in the Premier League, Aguero has scored against the West Londoners on 10 occasions, which incidentally, is also the highest number of goals an individual has popped up with when facing them.

Furthermore, the Argentine has found the back of the net 8 times in his previous 6 encounters against the Blues, which also included a hat-trick at the Etihad in a 6-0 mauling in February.

Hence, current and past form don’t paint a particularly encouraging portrait for the Blues. And, they would hope that the Argentine doesn’t prove to be Super Frank’s kryptonite on Saturday.
