Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Arsenal

1,434 Comments
Share

After Harry Kane blanked yet again at Wembley in Spurs’ narrow win over Crystal Palace, we move to the Etihad as Manchester City and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 2.15pm kick-off.

Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling have shrugged off any concerns over rotation for the home side, with all three named in the starting line-up.

But the Gabriel Jesus exodus could pick up pace as he’s named among the subs – over 203,000 sold the Brazilian last week.

Both Aguero (9%) and Sane (2.5%) are among the top 10 captains in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 11. The Argentine has scored in each of his last three at the Etihad, while Sane is seeking a fifth successive double-figure haul at home.

At the back, Nicolas Otamendi’s owners need him to be on his best behaviour today. The City centre-half has four yellow cards to his name, with one more caution set to earn a single-match suspension.

For the Gunners, Arsene Wenger has sprung a surprise by dropping Alexandre Lacazette to the bench. Sitting in 11% of FPL squads, the Frenchman is another premium forward who can expect big sales to follow – Arsenal have visits from Spurs and Man United and a trip to Burnley in the next four.

It looks like a role up front for Alexis Sanchez as a result of the reshuffle. The Chilean has delivered points in three of his last four league outings and, with an ownership under 3%, could yet emerge as an explosive differential.

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

        you're right, the players that have failed this week have done well in the past and will do well in the future, patience required 🙂

        need to get Salah in I think, possibly for Eriksen, but will assess over IB

        good luck !

        I will be happy to keep both for one more GW but seeing their prices keep dropping while everyone gets flashier players who are also rotation risks is very annoying.

        Seems a good move. Patience pays off with the City boys but I think Lukaku will continue to be very consistent going forward and if there's a time to get Zaha it's now.

      Not unhappy with my defence, they've all hauled for me at least once but Ward's the only one I'm definitely keeping:

      Azpi - might need money elsewhere
      Otamendi - card magnet
      Davies - rotated too much
      Lascelles - better fixtures elsewhere

      Daniels for Davies or Jones for Azpi/Otamendi look likely.
