The Dugout Discussion – Manchester City vs Chelsea

Gameweek 14 gets up and running this Saturday lunchtime as Manchester City entertain Chelsea at the Etihad.

This sees the two most popular forwards in Fantasy Premier League, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa, go head-to-head, with the Argentine looking to improve a record that has seen him score just twice in front of his own supporters to date.

He faces a tough task, though, considering that the visitors have conceded once in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Costa, meanwhile, has scored in all but one of his away appearances and rolls up as the most consistent player in FPL, with returns in 11 of the first 13 Gameweeks.

The top scoring player in FPL, Eden Hazard has toiled on his travels, scoring just one of his seven strikes outside of Stamford Bridge.

Benched away to Burnley last time around, there’s no surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne return to the City first XI as Pep Guardiola looks for the win that would leapfrog the visitors into first.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    This is coming from a neutral. Pretty sure if that had been Costa with the leg breaker tackle on Otamendi, the commentary on here would have been much more focused on how awful Costa is than who to get for him in FPL.

    When does Aguero get held to the same standard? That was an absolute disgrace.
