Right Midfielder – Raheem Sterling

As a whole, Sterling’s numbers have improved in his second season in Manchester. His nine goals and 15 assists proves he is a threat not only in City’s distribution, but also in front of goal. Like Sane, Sterling brings pace to the City line-up, which makes him a valuable asset to the team. His defensive work has improved under Guardiola, which has made him a two-way player. Compared to Arsenal’s wingers, Sterling deserves the start over the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alex Iwobi, and Aaron Ramsey.
