Most take-ons – Raheem Sterling (10/13)

Pep Guardiola has simplified Sterling’s role by instructing him to stand still on the wing rather than float infield in search of the ball, removing the England international’s mental blockage while creating space for Kevin De Bruyne to flourish. Guardiola instructs his wingers to hug the touchline and only move infield once the ball enters the final third – that way the opposition defence has to stretch wider, which in turn creates space in central areas.
