Sergio Aguero – Foward

Not much needs to be said about him at this point. All he does is score and score and volume. That was the case last season, this season and for more seasons to come. The first match between these two sides saw Hoedt shadowing Aguero and boy, did he have a field day with him. He had a goal and two assists but Saints are lucky it was not more.

The marking will likely be different this time around but that does not make him any less dangerous.

Despite his stature, Aguero is stronger than he looks which allows him to hold up the ball superbly while teammates make runs for him to layoff too. He is a Swiss Army knife of a striker who can net a hat-trick or cut you up with his passing.
