Leading our charge on the flanks will be the Manchester City duo of Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva.

Pep Guardiola once said that the Portuguese international is the first name on his team sheet, and the player has never ceased to make his manager proud. He has continued from where he left off last season, posting a series of impressive performances on the City right flank. In 13 appearances so far, he's scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists.

On the other hand, Raheem Sterling is arguably the most improved player since Guardiola took over the reins at the club. The English international is a nightmare for fullbacks, as he has added a huge thirst for goals to his lethal arsenal of tricks & flicks. In 14 games this season, the Englishman has bagged 8 goals and an assist.


Centre forward: Marcus Rashford

The irrepressible Sergio Aguero is scheduled to miss this one, so we'll have to make do with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.

The young Manchester native has perhaps been one of the only brights spots for the Old Trafford outfit in a decade that's been filled with misery on the pitch. The club's academy has seen somewhat of a renaissance recently, and the 22-year-old is at the forefront. Rashford has played predominantly on the flank this season, but the team tactics and his style of play have seen him interchange with inhouse centre forward Anthony Martial up top.

The Englishman has had dull moments this season, but his performance last time out against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur was a testament to the quality he possesses. The 22-year-old bagged a brace in the last fixture, and so far this season, he has scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists.
