Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Arsenal

The Gameweek begins with a bang. Matches don’t come any bigget than City vs Arsenal – a top of the table clash between the two major attacking forces in the Premier League to this point.

City put their 100% home record on the line against an Arsenal side that oozes class and creativity from midfield. With 29 goals amassed in front of their own fans, it’s hard to see the Gunners keeping Manuel Pellegrini’s side at bay and yet Arsenal’s rearguard arrives in Manchester having conceded more than one goal in a league match just once all season. Something has to give and Fantasy managers will be hoping that the likes of Sergio Aguero, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil are in the mix when the blows are exchanged.

Look out for the latest team sheet news via our Twitter feed, while our Duguout Discussion chatroom will accompany you throughout the match and into the three o’clock kick-offs to cater for your real-time needs.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I put City narrow favourites but Demichelis Vs Walcott on the break when Clichy has pushed forwards will be very interesting.

    i think pellegrini took a bet today playing silva aguero nasri and negredo
    arsenal's full back are almost wingbacks and silva and nasri will not provide the best cover
    might cost them dearly unless they score first........
    and then milner comes in.....
