West Ham fullback Pablo Zabaleta isn't surprised by David Silva's superb form this season.

Silva was outstanding for Manchester City in victory over Manchester United.

He said, "I love this man, for me he is one of the best to play with, a joy to watch, he's on a diff level he dictates the tempo of the game. For Sterling and Sane to play with Silva behind them is fantastic and he's the player who gets in the pockets. He knows where to play it next. What a player.

"I don't think I've played with better.

"At City Yaya Toure and Silva they are fantastic that quality they make things happen."
