The Dugout Discussion – Manchester City vs Liverpool

A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion at the Etihad now as Manchester City and Liverpool go head-to-head at 4.30pm.

Two of the top eight captains for Gameweek 29 take to the pitch now, with Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane handed the armband by 8.33% and 2.12% respectively.

Owned by 21.6% of FPL managers, the Argentinian has found the net just twice in his last ten Gameweek appearances but history is on his side, having scored in all four of his home league appearances against the Merseysiders.

Both Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane boast far better form than the South American as Pep Guardiola’s side look to recover from their midweek Champions League exit in Monaco.

The former has produced returns in nine of his last 11 league outings, while Sane has finally settled after a frustrating first few months after arriving from Schalke last summer – the German wide man has racked up six goals and four assists in his last 11 starts across all competitions.

Residing in over 23% of squads, Mane has delivered double-figures against Spurs and Arsenal in the last four Gameweeks to emerge as Liverpool’s most reliable FPL performer.

Sold by over 118,000 FPL managers last week, Roberto Firmino recovers from a minor groin problem to return to the Reds’ XI.

      Quite the opposite.

    I'll say it again. Bloody Oliver...

    It's quite surprised that it still 0-0

      Very open

    What a miss. Sterling and Fernandino try slide in yards from goal but both fail to make contact.

    Oliver the best of the rest with the donkeys.

    Good save

    I think the Fernandinho miss was actually worse. At least Sterling was under pressure.

      Agreed

      That's quite obvious foul in the box.

    Lallana 1st SOT in months

  12. Duffy Dunk

    Nice Lallana shot, equally nice save from Caballero

    Seemed to remember a bunch of people saying Oliver is the best ref in the league after giving Herrera that red...
    Wonder if that opinion still stands?

  14. ★Kuntheman★

    Huh, so this is what it feels like to have a goalkeeper

  15. Fred54

    Willy with back to back saves from Firm and Lalanna.

    Apologies if this has been covered loads already...

    Hearing the Manchester derby is to be 27th April (GW34), any news on the other re-arrangements or is this just an early leak?

    1. Fergies fledgling

      Just an early leak

      Nothing confirmed yet

    Right, its becoming clear that my stream is a bit on the slow side. If you could count to 10 before posting anything about the action I'd be grateful Thanks

    Mane getting his crosses blocked actually helps the Liverpool attack.
