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

        Hold your horses, Dzeko hat trick incoming!

        The good news is that Aguero isn't essential and can play off the bench still.

        Now Edin... let's get the party started sunshine.

          But ? You picked him for a reason to start with so surely you gotta give him a couple games at least ?

          πŸ˜† blame yourself. sure you will one day get it right, statistically that must happen. But that one day is little comfort to you after having screwed your team 30 odd times à season.

        Please can someone give me a valid reason why I took Jovetic out of my team? Im desperately trying to find one... please help

        1. Bolt-on
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I would have done the same if had him

        2. SC not pearls before swine
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If he hadn't scored today, he likely would have been dropped to the bench for Stoke. And he still may lose out to Aguero. Bad luck, but totally valid decision.

        3. Resnais
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He's not at all nailed. Good decision med/long term.

      17. Misunderstood Genius
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Wonder how many of those people who kept Jovetic would have actually sold him if there were decent mid price forward options πŸ˜‰

        1. johnbarnes
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Honestly, I had a lot of confidence in him, he's a great player. Last year he had problems with injuries. Anyway, too many problems in defence to take hits for my forwards.

        2. SC not pearls before swine
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          So much this! Or if he'd been priced at 8.5/I'd had .5 in the bank.
