They are two of the hottest properties in the Premier League, the South American hotshots who will surely decide Sunday’s big showdown between Manchester City and Arsenal. But which of Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero is the better player? Martin Keown and Jamie Redknapp sat down for an appreciation, some arguing and a very difficult decision... So, what is it that makes them so dangerous? MARTIN KEOWN: They are fantastic all-round footballers but it’s their ability to run at players and terrorise defenders that makes them so good. They love to fly forward and are able to change direction in an instant — it’s that speed of thought and technique that strikes fear into opponents. They can absolutely embarrass players with their pace but almost always produce something special at the end of it.

The South Americans have taken the Premier League by storm this season
@highlight
Both players scored in the 2-2 draw at the Emirates in September and it is likely that they will have much to say when at the Etihad on Sunday
@highlight
Aguero is a lethal striker, who can run at people and is deadly in the box
@highlight
Sanchez hit the ground running, scoring 12 times in the Premier League

But is the quickfire Argentine or the energetic Chilean the better player?

Redknapp and Keown sat down to debate and decide...
But I’ll go for @placeholder — he’s injured less often and for the energy he gives.
