The creative attacker has been given a rather free flowing role from Guardiola and has found a great partnership with Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. Can the Spaniard grab a goal?

Liverpool starlet Ben Woodburn turned a lot of heads in the past week with two outstanding cameos off the bench for Wales. The 17-year-old scored on his debut against Austria late on with a cracking finish that has written his name into the history books. He then came off the bench away at Moldova and his 60-yard surgig run was enough to provide a fantastic assist. It is unlikely Woodburn will start against Manchester City as new signing Mo Salah has been very impressive. Liverpool’s August player of the month has lightening quick speed and fantastic vision and could be a huge threat to the Manchester defence.
