Man City fans make Raheem Sterling prediction for new season

The Premier League is back this weekend and Manchester City fans have been giving their thoughts on how the club will fare this season.

More than 3,000 fans took part in the MEN's season preview survey, giving their predictions on a number of topics ranging from where they think the club will finish to top scorer.

After regaining the Premier League trophy last season, it appears that the majority of fans are confident of retaining the title, with 74 per cent predicting Pep Guardiola’s men to finish first and only 12 per cent thinking that they will finish second.

Following on from his goalscoring exploits at Euro 2020, 42 per cent of City supporters think Raheem Sterling will finish as the club’s top scorer, followed by Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan.

Ferran Torres experienced an impressive debut season at the Eithad Stadium last season with seven league goals and the majority of fans expect the Spanish winger to become the side’s surprise star again this time out with 60 per cent of the vote.

Full-backs Benjamin Mendy and Joao Cancelo were next with 14 and 10 per cent respectively, followed by Rodri and Nathan Ake.

Finally, after his appearance in the Community Shield last weekend, 34 per cent of City fans believe Samuel Edozie will be the clubs breakthrough star this season.

The winger was closely followed by forward Liam Delap on 32 per cent and fellow youth team stars Cole Palmer, Tommy Doyle and Jayden Braaf.
