The second City player to make this list, but Aguero is included for good reason.

Despite the addition of Gabriel Jesus last season and manager Pep Guardiola often opting to drop Aguero in favour of the Brazilian, the dynamic Argentinian continues to prove he is one of the best in the league in front of goal.

He still managed an impressive 20 Premier League goals last season, and has already hit the back of the net twice this season. His finish against Liverpool last time out backed up his reputation as one of the best finishers, pouncing on a through ball from Kevin De Bruyne to tuck away his only opportunity of the first half.

Aguero will always get chances playing in a team like City who have so many creative players, and even if he doesn’t start every game, there is every chance he can still go better than last season and make a good go of taking the Golden Boot for a second time.
