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 Hรฅvard 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.

    Aguero to pull an international "injury" soon I reckon.

      Best thing ever to bring Sanchez in

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Not with this team he wont. Hasn't he changed their previous formation as well to a 4-1-4-1 instead of a 4-2-3-1. They look much better.

        Why couldn't Stones get on the end of that?

      10. Dormer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        isn't this game essentially pointless for us FPL players since everyone and there nan has captained aguero?

        1. BenDavies
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          My nan captained Ibra

        2. Crouching Tiger
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          No. Most captained Ibra.

        3. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Not Ibra cappers

        4. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Are you forgetting Ibra exists?

        5. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I captained Hazard.

      11. Chucky
        • 10 Years

        7 years, 9 months ago

        This is not good for us Kun captainers. They all reckon they can score.

      13. Count of Monte Hristo

        Kun better not relax because the game is won

        Arsenal's midfield is still a bit better for me, but the embarrassment of riches between the two squads is so good for the league.

      17. Kaneyonero
        • 7 Years

        This will end up 10 - 0 witg no Kun involvement
