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.

    Why is Yaya seen as a casuals pick? He has constantly proven to score you 150 points over a season, should be more this time out.

    Happy with Silva, Ozil and Aguero in that. Haven't got Yaya, not going to have him, prepared for the consequences.

    Best game of the season by an absolute country mile that. Think the scoreline flatters City a bit as Giroud played a nightmare and Arsenal should have had a penalty when the game was finely poised. By the end Arsenal had to push too much leaving a hatfull of chances for City to clean up.
