Manchester City duo Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling are also in the running

#2 Raheem Sterling

The attacker has had a great season so far

Raheem Sterling is on his peak right now. The Manchester City winger is creating all kinds of havoc for opposition teams. He has grown to be one of the finest wingers in the world under Pep Guardiola. Sterling has been vital to City's success this season.

Sterling has matured well enough and took the team in his stride when big names like Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne were sidelined due to injury.

The England international has 15 goals to his name and is just 4 goals behind Sergio Aguero who leads the goalscoring charts right now. Apart from scoring 15 goals, he has11 assists to his name. Raheem Sterling along with Sergio Aguero have formed a lethal partnership in front of the goal. The 24-year-old has a scoring frequency of 149 minutes and has a goal-per-game ratio of about 0.5.

If the Citizens lift the Premier League title this season, they owe it majorly to Aguero and Raheem Sterling.
