4) BERNARDO SILVA

The Portuguese midfielder has been one of the best players in this edition of the Premier League, if not the best. Having said to leave the Etihad at the start of this season to being the most reliable performer on the field, Silva has come a long way in his City career.

The 27-year-old has 7 goals and an assist on the back of his name from 24 appearances in the PL, this season. Silva alongside Kevin De Bruyne has been the linchpin of the defending champions in the midfield.

Bernard Silva is a must watch given his ability to be inch-perfect in Guardiola’s possession-based system. The Portuguese can run riot on his day and Tottenham would hope that his usual best doesn’t turn up at the Etihad on matchday 26.

He too would be high on confidence after a Man of the Match performance against Sporting CP scoring a brace and would be a tough customer to be dealt with in such form.
