#3 The return of Kevin de Bruyne
Ever since Kevin de Bruyne left Chelsea for German club Wolfsburg, he hasn't looked back. His performances in the Bundesliga were impressive enough to force Manchester City to shell out £55 million for him.
He has drawn comparisons to Xavi of Barcelona because of his supreme playmaking skills. Manager Pep Guardiola deploys him in the same pivotal role that he used to deploy Xavi in, when he was the manager of Barcelona.
He is a leading front-runner in the race to win the Premier League Player of the Year for his stellar performances this season. He was rested in the Manchester derby and was only brought on as a substitute later on in the game in the 72nd minute.
The Belgian would definitely be raring to go out there and win the game for his team.
