The number of different attacking options available at Guardiola's disposal is quite frightening. Riyad Mahrez has been equally good for the Citizens this year but the former Liverpool man, Raheem Sterling, just edges the Algerian out due to the sheer number of goals the Englishman has been involved in.

The 23-year old who has 9 appearances in the league to his name has already been involved in 11 of Manchester City's goal having scored 6 of them while making an assist in 5 other. The winger has had 14 shots on target while hitting the woodwork twice.

The Englishman has an average of 2.3 shots and 2.7 key passes per match.

Left Wing: Anthony Martial

A year out in the wilderness seems to have brought back the boy who took the Premier League by the storm with an impressive goal in his debut against arch-rivals Liverpool a couple of years back.

Anthony Martial seems to have finally resurfaced after feeling the heat of Jose Mourinho's managerial skills with the Frenchman being heavily involved in all of Manchester United's recent goals.

The 22-year old has been in sublime touch scoring 5 goals in 8 appearances for the Red Devils, averaging 0.63 goals per match. 8 shots on target with a shooting accuracy of 73% is an equally impressive stats for the winger with an average of 1.4 shots and 1.5 key passes per match.

Striker: Sergio Aguero
