#8 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Leicester City - Premier League — Sterling has been vital to Manchester City's dominance this season

Raheem Sterling did not have the best of starts to his Manchester City career. After initially struggling to nail down a regular starting spot, the 23-year-old England international has finally started to fulfil his immense potential this season.

One of Pep Guardiola's most trusted players, Sterling has popped up time and again to score some timely and crucial goals even scoring some last minute winners to help City on their path to dominance.

Blessed with a good touch, excellent dribbling skills and electric pace, Sterling's only weakness was his finishing. However, this season, the pacy winger has been one of City's most effective players, scoring 15 goals and grabbing a further 7 assists.

With City aiming to win the treble this season, Guardiola will be hoping that Sterling continues his good form and scores some important goals at the business end of the season.
