Man City's team of the decade: Steph Houghton's verdict

Pick your own team of the 2010s below with our interactive selector

We take a look back at some of Manchester City's best strikes from this decade, featuring some bullets from Kevin De Bruyne, a beauty from Yaya Toure and more!

Steph Houghton had the pleasure of choosing Manchester City's team of the 2010s, the most successful period in the club's history.

The last 10 years have seen Manchester City break new ground after their takeover in the noughties, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups.

Pundit's verdict: In goal…

A tough call, but I have to go with Ederson in goal. He just edges out Joe Hart after the last two history-making seasons he's had.

In defence…

An absolute legend at right-back, Pablo Zabaleta, he won the first Premier League title and epitomised what Manchester City is about.

I cannot leave Vincent Kompany out, of course, but who goes alongside him is a tough one. I'm going to go with Aymeric Laporte, he's impressed during his two seasons here and looks to be a mainstay going into the next decade.

At left-back I've gone for Aleksandar Kolarov, a master of set-pieces and had great quality on the ball.

In midfield…

Fernandinho has been the unsung hero in the Manchester City midfield. He protects the defence, breaks up play and that has been vital over the years.

Yaya Toure's power and goalscoring from midfield when he was at his peak was nothing short of unbelievable. Kevin de Bruyne is probably the best midfielder in the Premier League now, his delivery, his passing and work ethic.

Then there's the absolute legend that is David Silva, he's been a mainstay of the team for a long time and he's a leader.

In attack…

These two pick themselves - Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling. Not a bad team, that.
