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

  12. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    With the refs being told to punish that sort of dragging in the box, pen takers could fill their boots this season...

  17. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years

    That could've been a disaster. Kun - points and off pens. Nervy times there.

  18. TheSteel

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    3. Lanley Staurel

      9 years, 7 months ago

  22. Rich_20
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I take that back, I need more than 1 goal :).

  23. Lateriser 12

    This 24.5M front 2 is the easiest investment ever.

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.

  24. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Never a penalty. This is ridiculous.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      100% pen. Hands all overhim and pulling dowward

    2. Trovsmash
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He had him in a figure 4 armlock

    3. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      More of a penalty than the one on Luke shaw

    4. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      So holding someone back and pulling their shurt is allowed now is it?

  25. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    welp this is going to be a long game. No Aguero/Ibra (C) here

  26. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Superb pen!

    That would give him a world of confidence.

  27. Call Me Guybrush
