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.

    Jack Wilshere has been terrible today. Almost all City counter attacks are balls taken way too easily off him. I think he cost Arsenal this game.

    If buying Silva in remember he is on 4 yellows, a 1 game ban over Xmas would be a pain. he does have a tendency for daft bookings when in late on challenges.

    Wilshere 🙄

    I think it's fair to say that Wilshere and Monreal over Cazorla and Gibbs has been a fecking disaster.

    Aguero, Whittigham and Yaya -> Lukaku, Silva and Walcott (-8).

    Don't want to take that big a hit, but only got a .1 safety margin, so the window will be closing.
