Right Midfielder – Raheem Sterling
Despite only one assist this month across all competitions, Sterling is still a valuable asset to the City lineup. Sterling, like Sane, brings pace to the attacking front and the ability to take opposing defenders out of the match. He is a pest defensively, which helps Manchester City when they try to win possession back. A big performance in Thursday’s Derby could set Sterling up for a nice finish to the season. He has helped Manchester City in all competitions this season, while increasing his numbers too.
