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

    City are very suspect at the back, and they throw too many people forward. Need to give Stoke more respect IMHO. Imbula looks a handful too.

    Why even play Navas ? Makes no sense with the other options available.

        What - fast crap against slow crap = crap all round.

    What the hell!

    At half time last night I picked my game week 3 team.

    Login this afternoon and my gameweek 2 team has been changed. How the he'll did that happen?

    Got sigurson on the bench and Wickham playing. Not pleased

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Did you press save? 😐

      1. Dirty_Harry

        My team was set a week ago. I didn't make any subs. At half time thought I'd look at my gameweek 3 team and see I can get ibra in. Put Wickham in and benched my two Swansea players cos they playing leicester away.

        This morning my gameweek 2 team matches my gameweek 3 team. Both on the app and website.

        Fuming cos Wickham away to Tottenham and sigurson playing hull at home.

        This definitely isn't me making a mistake

    sterling is so one footed, his incredibly complex plan of cutting in every time from the left is pretty fairly obvious
