Last season’s top two go head-to-head at the Etihad this evening as Gameweek 2 is brought to its conclusion. Both City and Liverpool go in search of a second successive win, allowing Fantasy managers the chance to assess our options in midfield and attack, with Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge looking to get amongst the goals once again.

Aguero remains on the bench for City, however, as Manuel Pellegrini makes just one change from the side that defeated Newcastle last Sunday. The City boss hands Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko the chance to lead the line again, then, whilst Pablo Zabaleta is drafted in at right-back, with Gael Clichy swapping over to the other flank as Aleksandar Kolarov drops out.

Brendan Rodgers makes a couple of alterations to the XI that started against Southampton last time around. New signing Alberto Moreno is handed a debut at left-back, with Glen Johnson shifting to the right of defence as Javier Manquillo drops out. Elsewhere, Joe Allen comes in for Lucas in the centre of the park.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I forgot to make my UFPL transfers πŸ™

      ... which is why I didn't bother with it this season.

        Its less hassle once transfer window ends though . No worry about price changes and just do subs over the weekend . Wake up !!

    Did Chambers > Colo and Giroud > Dzeko as 2FT so...

    GW3 good to go?

    DDG
    Colo - Clyne - PVA - Caulker
    Rambo - Fab - Mata
    Dzeko - Costa - Rooney

    (Myhill - Mutch - Davis - Chester)

    1. RamaJama

      Good to go, hope Dzeko doesn't get injuried or gets a red in this match then.

      1. LDG
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly this! Thought Giroud was gonna drop on Saturday so did this early. Hope the gamble pays off.

    Anyone else considering Zarate? Kind of want to keep Austin but not too keen on his price drop tonight

    1. Jay_
        11 years, 3 months ago

        atm he would be more value as a mid,will make lots of chances but im not sure if we have the firepower to convert, im still thinking of him though, toss up between him and Fletcher

      • mr messi
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Im considering replacing Austin but not sure who to get. Toying with Wickham.

        1. GrumblyBlowfish
          • 12 Years

          Know if there's any news on Austin's injuries?

      Anyone without Sky Sports but has an iPad should download Puffin browser. The premium version is a couple of quid but it's worth it. Best flash browser, loads streams in an instant even with slow internet.

        Sounds handy

        1. Rödallegabomb α΄Ώα΄
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It is great, especially if you know where to look for streams.

      2. LDG
        • 14 Years

        Nice one

      3. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Puffin is the best. Didn't use it on iDevices but runs smoother than butter on Android

        1. Rödallegabomb α΄Ώα΄
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't recommend using it for general use, as flash browsers tend to be a little unstable. For streams it is perfect.

        It sucks on 3G in peak hours.

          • 13 Years

          I wouldn't expect anything from 3G when streaming.
