Saturday treats us to seven more Gameweek 2 matches, with Stoke entertaining Man City in the early lunchtime kick-off.

Sergio Aguero will be hoping to continue the momentum thatโ€™s already harvested six goals in his first four outings under Pep Guardiola.

Having seen Zlatan Ibrahimovic score twice and rack up 13 points last night, though, the Argentine has plenty to do to vindicate his place at the top of this weekโ€™s captain poll.

City warmed up for this one with a 5-0 hammering of Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday evening, and their manager has been reluctant to make changes โ€“ Pep Guardiola makes just one alteration from that match in Romania, with Nolito replaced by Jesus Navas on the flank.

For the Potters, Shay Given once again deputises for the stricken Jack Butland, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in training prior to Gameweek 1.

Mark Hughes makes one enforced change for the hosts, with the injured Xherdan Shaqiri repalced by Joe Allen. Bojan is expected to switch to the right flank to allow Allen to tuck in behind Mame Biram Diouf.

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

    Looks like Aguero and Ibrahimovic are both going to be essential this year.

    Makes the dynamics of the season interesting - 3rd striker spot will win/lose MLs.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years

      Makes it a little boring though

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        So true. I wanted variety this season. Then again 3rd striker and prem midfielders will hopefully spice it up.

        Imagine when Payet Hazard and Mahrez all fire...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That's forgetting Ozil too.

      As I said earlier, if one of the premium mids and the premium defenders start doing well, what do you do?!

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I don't own Ibra but will assess Kane today vs Palace if he doesn't show up he'll be in.
