The final match of Gameweek 1 see Man City play host to Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and let’s see if we Roberto Mancini’s side can be the only team to win at home in the opening set of matches…

Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

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

      My guess would be that they wouldn't have bothered changing that part of the website to state 'we fecked up, transfer away boys.'

          Unless they've decided to be ludicrously cruel after the mistake to being with and pretend that we've got a free after week 1 wildcard then I would say yes.

    Just looking at them new PPI points, how the hell did Carroll not get any? not even one.

    And going to the Chelsea team, Benny got 5 and he was on the pitch for less than 5 mins while Torres who played the whole game and imo was Chelsea's best player got none?

    Am I clicking the wrong button? 😆

      It seemed so simple when they said it would be statistically based, the scouts made it seem so accessible. I feel we have been cheated my friend.

    Lucky for Dzeko he's scored. Mancini won't be too patient with him. Don't know if I'll keep him despite the goal.
