Next up are West Ham, who have conceded ten times to Sergio Aguero, including eight in the league alone. The Argentine also bagged one strike apiece in the FA Cup and League Cup against the London club.

Aguero's most important strike was arguably in the 1-0 victory over the Hammers on matchday 28 of the 2018-19 season. That kept City in the title race ahead of Liverpool.

He also assisted four times against the London side. Among all the teams on this list, that's the joint-highest he has managed. He has racked up four assists against Chelsea and Newcastle too.


#6 Aston Villa - 10 goals (8 games)

Aston Villa boast a unique distinction of losing all eight games to City whenever Aguero was on the pitch. The Argentine has bagged six strikes in those clashes.

His incredible record includes one league hat-trick in a 6-1 victory in the 2019-20 season. He also scored in the EFL Cup final the same campaign, which City won 2-1.

City played Villa in the fourth round of the 2015-16 FA Cup, winning 4-0. However, Aguero was an unused substitute.


#5 Arsenal - 11 goals (19 games)

Aguero's 11 strikes against Arsenal spread across the league, FA Cup and the EFL Cup. The Gunners are among Aguero's five most favourite teams he has ever faced.

He scored a league hat-trick against them in the 2018-19 season, and also netted once in the 2018 EFL Cup final.

Only in the semi-final of the 2016-17 FA Cup did Aguero end up on the losing side against Arsenal despite scoring.


#4 Watford - 11 goals (8 games)

Watford are among the few teams against whom Aguero has scored a hat-trick in two different competitions - FA Cup in 2014 and Premier League in 2017.

Moreover, in City's historic 8-0 shellacking of the Hornets in the 2019-20 Premier League, the Argentine scored and assisted once. Like Aston Villa, Watford have also lost all their games to City whenever Aguero was on the pitch. The Argentine scored in six of those games.
