Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Sunderland

Attentions now turn to the Etihad where Pep Guardiola makes his Premier League bow.

David Moyes’ Sunderland are the guests and potential party poopers, although the odds do seem stacked against them.

The Black Cats are in transition under their new manager, while City boast such attacking riches there can be no doubt that they head into today’s clash as overwhelming favourites.

Expectant Fantasy managers will be looking to Sergio Aguero to capitlise – the Argentine heads into the teatime kick-off as the most popular captain choice in the Gameweek and with over 40% ownership.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        He didn't look very threatening though. He looked god awful. Was gifted some chances, was invisible for the rest.

      It's not working for me at the moment either. Not sure what is wrong. Maybe it's because it is the first FPL gameweek and there were problems with it's site earlier today. I will try again later, I advise that you do the same.
