With Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus both struggling with injuries, Raheem Sterling has taken up the scoring mantle for Manchester City, scoring nine times and making five assists thus far.

A left-winger by trade, the former Liverpool man has the versatility to operate from any position in the attack and has delivered in the big games for Manchester City once again this season.

Yet, he has somehow never scored against Manchester United in 19 games, an anomaly he would like to correct on Sunday.


Striker: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Marcus Rashford has scored four goals against Manchester City in ten games.

Posting slightly better attacking statistics than Sterling, his England teammate Marcus Rashford has scored the same number of goals as him this campaign but has made one assist more.

However, the Manchester United striker has struggled for consistency. Most of his numbers have been registered in the first half of the league campaign. Marcus Rashford needs to find his ruthless streak to become a top striker in the Premier League again.
