Following a not so positive start to the season for Pep Guardiola’s men, Mahrez has been one of the shining lights for this City side – building on his impressive form at the back end of last campaign.

Indeed, he’s made three assists so far this season and averaging 2.5 key passes per game (per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/167/Show/England-Manchester-City)) – speaking to the impact of his overall game – and does appear to have put [any criticism behind him](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/02/28/riyad-mahrez-has-added-little-since-signing-man-city-have/) this season on a personal note, even if his side are trailing Liverpool in the Premier League.

Much to the delight of supporters, he’s done exactly that – consistently standing out as a clear threat on the right channel and providing much-needed width as obvious when looking at the stats above.

As you’d expect, fans are also ecstatic he’s managed to nab City’s player of the month accolade.
