First Striker – Sergio Aguero 

With Gabriel Jesus suffering a foot injury a few weeks ago, Sergio Aguero has come back into Pep’s plans at Manchester City. He is coming off two goal performances against Monaco and Huddersfield, and seems to have his scoring touch back. 22 goals in all competitions sees Aguero leading the team in goals, while his chemistry with other players is improving as the season rolls on. I feel for Manchester City to have a say in the EPL title race and the Champions League, Aguero will have to keep up his current goal pace.
