The Englishman was one of the key players for Pep Guardiola last season, as Manchester City powered to a domestic treble. Raheem Sterling helped his City side fend off Liverpool’s spirited challenge for the title and won accolades for his performances on the pitch. The Englishman won both the PFA Young Player of the Year Award and the FWA Player of the Year Award.

Sterling finished last season with 17 goals from 34 appearances, as he tore through the opposition defenses and operated across City’s front three. This season, with Sane out injured, the Englishman will have to take up a chunk of goal scoring responsibilities once again. And if morning shows the day, we could be in for a treat.

The Englishman started the season with a hattrick against West Ham United in the opening weekend. Sterling was on song as City put 5 past the Hammers, clearly stating their intent for the season. The Englishman is 6th among the top contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot at the start of August.
