Ciaran Clark has also impressed from Newcastle’s perspective. The 30-year-old has two goals to his name form six games and has a pass accuracy of 78% so far.

Raheem Sterling on the flanks has been decisive for Manchester City. The England international has seven goals and an assist from 12 league appearances this season.
