Dugout Discussion – Man City vs West Ham

After a stilted stalemate at the Hawthorns, it’s fair to say that we’re looking forward to some fireworks from the tea-time kick-off.

Manchester City host West Ham United at the Etihad as they bid to keep pace with Manchester United and Chelsea and make it three wins from three.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes, introducing Gael Clichy at left-back for Aleks Kolarov and handing a start to Nolito at the expense of Jesus Navas.

The Hammers are again without Dimitri Payet, with his absence surely set to lead to another mass exodus in FPL terms.

Slaven Bilic has changed shape in a bid to repeat last season’s victory in Manchester, recalling Angelo Ogbonna to a three-man rearguard.

Former Manchester United starlet, Ashley Fletcher, makes his first Premier League start up front in a 3-5-2 setup. Sam Bryam drops to the bench, whilst Håvard Nordtveit misses out through injury. Manuel Lanzini is fit enough for the bench.

All eyes will be Sergio Aguero – he heads into this encounter backed with the captaincy by 32% of FPL managers, just 1% less than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who stalled with a two-point return at Hull on Saturday.

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

    Great play from Silva to Nolito to Sterling for the goal. Sterling clearing looking best value option for extra city coverage

  20. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years

    1. Halftime

      • 10 Years

      Because you secretly hate yourself.

    2. AC Tomasso
      • 7 Years

      I have Silva too, thought I'd give him a shot until Ozil was certain to start.

    If this isn't your first year playing the game and you captained Ibra over Kun I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself

    Silva in form is such a joy to watch.

  28. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Nolito and Sterling were popular buy by mass last week, right?

  29. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    What like is Sane? Any good?

  30. tm245

    That does remind me a bit of Liverpool in the SAS days plowing through the defense for Sterling to convert the easy chance. Gets to use his quickness to his advantage.
