Silva has been in excellent form this season as City have battled at the top end of the Premier League table, consistently providing goals and assists for the Sky Blues.

The creative schemer has continued to be manager Manuel Pellegrini's main man behind striker Sergio Aguero, despite the big-money summer arrivals of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne.
