Manchester City are tipped to be the favourites for the Premier League title this season. After spending £219million in the summer, the Sky Blues have recruited ample amounts of exciting talent that will undoubtedly set the league alight. Here are five players expected to shine for Manchester City this season.
2Raheem Sterling
For a player that receives so much stick, Raheem Sterling has never disappointed in the Premier League. In 164 PL appearances, the Englishman has directly contributed to 58 goals. That’s an incredible return for a 22-year-old, but even bigger things are expected of the winger this season. In his first year under Pep Guardiola, Sterling scored 7 goals and assisted 6 times, that’s good but not exceptional.
This season he’s already scored 5 goals, thus living up to the idea that he’ll do bigger things this season. Guardiola is moulding the winger into an attacker that can play as an inside forward as well as an attacking midfielder. That versatility will prove vital this season as he performs at a higher level than before.
