#7 Left Central Midfielder – David Silva (Manchester City)

David Silva is one of the best midfielders in the world

David Silva still remains the most important member of the Manchester City side after having spent eight seasons with them. He is also one of the best midfielders of his generation and a very good passer, dribbler and goal-scorer.

He provides the talismanic touch in the midfield for City and is usually involved in most of their telling moves. It would not be an exaggeration to say that City becomes considerably weakened if Silva is marked out of the game by the opposition.

Silva has already scored 70 goals in 368 matches for Manchester City. He has also been in a splendid form this season and scored nine goals. He has also penetrated into the opposition penalty box more frequently been more direct in his approach this season.

Silva’s form would again be of paramount importance in deciding the ultimate winner of the Premier League.
