Kevin De Bruyne is one of the most technically gifted players of our times. His vision and passing abilities are unmatched in Europe. Like every year, this season too he has been busy creating chances for is teammates and has bagged 11 assists in the Premier League.

Though the tally is a little underwhelming by his standards, he has been used in different roles this term by Guardiola, which has included playing him as a centre-forward and second striker at times.

That's why we have included him as one of the two strikers in the team at the moment, as regular strikers from both clubs have failed to impress this season so far.


Striker: Riyad Mahrez | Manchester City

A winger by nature, Riyad Mahrez has enjoyed himself in front of the goal this season. With Gabriel Jesus struggling for form and Sergio Aguero's season hampered by injuries, they needed someone to provide some inspiration in the final third and that's what the Algerian winger has provided at the right time.

His performances in the Champions League have been particularly impressive and his recent form makes him one of the most dangerous players in the game tonight.
