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

    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

  14. HUMZAH96

  15. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    No City or Pool in my team... sh1tting myself!

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Ure not alone

  16. Jay_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Jovetic and Sterling (and Kolorov ! ) my interest in this, 3-1 City my prediction

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So Clichy at 5.5m could be bargain

    1. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      why

    2. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If Kolarov isn't nailed on, Clichy ain't either

      1. theloveburglar
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        exactly

    3. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking the same, not much mention of City defense on the site

    4. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      now mangala once fit could be a great option at 6

      but clichy and kolarov as we all know only too well share game time making either far from bargains

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Dammit Sturridge, you're a striker, not a LB!

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He's a LB today 🙂

  19. Zasa
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hendo show up today! You can outdo that wonderful assist!

  20. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    ITV are dramatising Cilla Black's life. Wonder if Sir Cliff will be in it

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Put sky on.

      The footballs on

  21. MrCadburysDickieBird
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Just looked at the Real Madrid first XI. Unbelievable team....

    1. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      None of them would get a game for Partick Thistle.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, not quite as good as the galacticos, but we all know it's close

  22. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Silva trying to get himself injured.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero is getting lonely

  23. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    This game is crying out for a Lovren goal......

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      *Kolarov

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Of the own kind

  24. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Kolatroll not playing, how unexpected... 😀

  25. NotAddicted
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Should the market now dictate my transfers?

    Krul Foster
    Terry Davis Bartley Caulker Yoshida
    Mata Siggy Hazard Eriksen Ramsey
    Jovetic Rooney Bojan

    2ft's : do I really have to consider transferring out Bojan and Bartley because of imminent pricedrops??

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That... And Bojan is cack.

      1. NotAddicted
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I new that but talked myself into that one at the end because he rotates with Siggy

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Jovetic probably. Best to ask after game.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        What ? Bojan first out . Hold on Jov

  26. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Silva should have banged that over to Dzeko dam

  27. RabMac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Really enjoy watching David Silva playing football. The guy has such great movement, great ball control and great vision.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I bought him yesterday just need him to stay injury clear

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He's fantastic.

    3. Towsor44
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Will he get me some points tonight though?

      1. RabMac
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I can't see Liverpool keeping a CS tonight, so in with a chance.

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yup! great player

    5. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

  28. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Better shot next time please Dzeko

  29. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    That left back for City looks like Gael Clichy's swarthy older brother.

    Oh wait...

  30. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Haha Fernando fail...
