First Striker – Sergio Aguero

With four goals in his last five matches, Sergio Aguero is in fine form for Manchester City. His 16 league goals, and 28 in all competitions leads the team, while his world-class ability is something that cannot be taught. Due to Gabriel Jesus‘ injury, Aguero returned to the City line-up and has made the most of the opportunity. He is a good finisher in front of goal, while always making himself available to his supporting cast. In case you were wondering, Aguero has netted more goals himself in league-play than all of Southampton’s forwards combined. With his future in doubt, I expect Manchester City to retain Aguero for the long-run.
