In 2013/14, under the new management of Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City romped to a Premier League and League Cup double while playing an exciting brand of attacking football.
Much like Roberto Mancini's City side, different variations of the 4-4-2 produced goals from all over the pitch. Sergio Agüero always led the way, but the likes of Edin Dzeko, Alvaro Negredo, David Silva and Samir Nasri all chipped in with their own contributions.
Players were interchanging, combining with each other and causing havoc for the oppositions backline with explosive movement and unpredictable attacking sequences. But what allowed all that to happen was the base of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure in central midfield.
