Second Striker – Marko Arnautovic
Despite a poor start to the season, Arnautovic has been Stoke’s best option offensively and is a wildcard every match. His six goals and four assists in all comps, proves he can help the team in a variety of ways. At 27, he still has some years to produce in the league whether it is with Stoke or someone else. He brings a flare to the pitch, which can sometime be a negative when the team doesn’t perform well. I could see Arnautovic being a forward partner with Aguero,as the Austrian could play out-wide on up-top.
Manchester City will look to defeat Stoke for the second and final time this season, after a 4-1 road win against the Potters back in August. Following Wednesday’s league contest, Manchester City then travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday for a F.A. Cup quarterfinal tie.
