Man of the Moment
Looking at the goalscorer market, it would seem a good idea to side with Raheem Sterling. He is one of the Manchester City players, who is showing decent form right now.

The visitors will be looking to in-form Said Benrahma to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently. The Algerian winger has scored 3 goals in their most recent matches.
