Saturday Dugout Discussion

Today’s early kick-off sees Man City looking to get back to winning ways after throwing away a two-goal lead at Craven Cottage last week.

As Everton roll up to the Etihad Stadium looking to extend their five game unbeaten run, the lineups are out and it’s good news for owners of Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko- both were rested in the midweek Carling Cup clash with Birmingham and return to the starting XI as City look to for the three points that will take them back to the top of the table before Man United take on Stoke this evening.

The sides in full are:

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Y Toure, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Fellaini, Rodwell, Neville, Osman, Cahill

Join us in the Dugout Discussion as Gameweek Six gets off to an early start this Saturday lunchtime.

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

        Clichy had some successful crosses, so you may be right. But I haven't seen a goalscorer not be in the bp's this year when there have been less than 4 goalscorers.

              No idea, all I know is goals count.

              I was mocked last week for saying Sinclair wouldn't get the 3 bps, so maybe I should keep out of it.

      As a person with no City offensive material I'll quite happily see him and Aguero "just" pick up an assist from that game.

      I bloody love Silva, and I think he's well worth having ...but I'm just never in any rush to add him to my crop. He doesn't truly scare me as a 15+ pointer and I enjoy his play nonetheless.

      I think they're more shocked Balotelli came on instead of Tevez?

    I'm thinking Dzeko out, Adebayor in for next week. Adebayor against Arsenal, you wouldn't bet against him scoring would you?
