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 that’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 week’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 – 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

  8. Scratch

    So much for the superstition around here on early kickoff captains. Zlatan and Aguero have put it to bed

    2. Martial Eriksen
      • 9 Years

  10. Supertrooper
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Gotta say Joe Allen is looking like a fantasy asset here, goes forward and is on some set pieces.

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    1. gonzalocampos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Zabalema became Busquets in no time, weird looking at City playing like that but pure entertainment, agreed?
