ST: Sergio Aguero
Sergio Aguero has already achieved legendary status at Manchester City and even after eight seasons at the club, the Argentine hitman hasn't shown signs of slowing down. The 31-year-old scored 21 times in the league last campaign, missing the Golden Boot by a slender margin of one goal.
The Argentinian played a huge role in Man City's second successive Premier League triumph, as his goals against Burnley and Liverpool proved to be crucial in a race which the latter side lost by a whisker. Aguero hasn't reported for Cityzens' pre-season tour due to his extended season owing to La Alibiceleste's Copa America participation.
Raheem Sterling is set to deputize in the number nine position for the first few games in Aguero's absence. Gabriel Jesus' attempts at securing a first-team spot and lead the City strikeforce took a hit last season, courtesy of a host of inconsistent displays. This could compel Guardiola to confine him to a supporting role for a while.
