#1 Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Liverpool - Premier League
Manchester City v Liverpool - Premier League

The Argentinean has a poor record at Anfield so far in his career. He has played 9 games there in all competitions in his career, which includes 7 with Manchester City and 2 with Atletico Madrid. Unfortunately, Aguero has not scored a single goal in all those games. He has registered just 11 shots in those 9 games and only 3 of those have been on target.

After missing out on the Golden Boot for three seasons running, Sergio Aguero seems to be hungry for a taste of the trophy again this season. He has been on fire so far, scoring 5 goals in his 7 games in the Premier League and 8 goals from 10 games in all competitions. Aguero has an impressive 0.71 goals per game ratio in the Premier League at present, and has attempted 38 shots, with 11 of them on target. The Argentinean has hit the woodwork 3 times already but has missed one big chance too.

Aguero is vital to City's tactics, because he is terrific with his back to the goal and his close control and dribbling skills also make him one of City's biggest threats. The intelligent Striker combines very well with City's creator in chief, David Silva and drops into clever spaces between the lines to make himself available for the pass. The Liverpool defense will certainly have their hands full with the Argentinean on Sunday and will be desperate not to allow him any space to work his magic.

Against Liverpool, Sergio Aguero will be Guardiola's main weapon and the Argentinean will also be hoping to score and put an end to that dreadful record once and for all.
