Manchester City’s ideal XI following the January window

David Silva

Going forward hasn’t been too much of an issue for City this season, and it’s no wonder when you’ve got someone like David Silva in your side.

The Spanish international moved to Manchester in 2010, and has since scored 36 goals and laid on 61 assists in 206 Premier League games – a stellar contribution.

The 31-year-old is technically as good as anyone in the league, as he is always able to find little pockets of space and indeed thread passes through the smallest of gaps.

Silva’s quality in the final third is sensational, and he’ll often be involved in the majority of City’s best attacking play.
