Right Midfielder – Raheem Sterling 

For this match, Sterling deserves the start over Leroy Sane out wide. His eight goals and ten assists have been a positive sight this season especially after his debut season last year. Sterling has been able to make the most of his appearances under Pep, while Sane has not tallied similar numbers. They both provide great pace and sneaky skill, but Sterling has been very good so far in his second season in Manchester.
