Of all the managers in England at the moment, Pep Guardiola would have been the last person you'd have picked to revive the great tradition of two-man strike partnerships but Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero have been in scintillating form - the two have scored 12 goals between them already.

Aguero, particularly, is in fine form and looks like he's in the mood to win the league on his own - but then a Maluma concert in Belgium changed everything. The taxi Aguero was traveling back to the airport in got caught in an unfortunate accident and reports have emerged that the Argentine may have suffered a broken rib.

In his absence, City are likely to revert to Jesus as lone striker and this will necessitate a change in the system that has worked so well for Guardiola's men in the opening weeks.
