Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Manchester City

Saturday’s action concludes at Goodison Park as Everton and Manchester City go head-to-head at 5.30pm.

As expected, Pep Guardiola has taken no chances with Sergio Aguero’s fitness ahead of the midweek Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool.

Sold by a hefty 347,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers last week, the Argentine misses out altogether today, with Gabriel Jesus leading the line against a defence that’s mustered just a single clean sheet in their last 11 league matches.

With no Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne is the most captained player in this one, with 2.6% armband backing.

Yet it’s David Silva who has been City’s most prolific player on the road, averaging 7.7 points on his travels.

Guardiola’s men arrive with nine clean sheets away from home – more than any side.

With four goals in his last three league outings, the Toffees’ winter signing Cenk Tosun looks the likeliest to breach that resilient backline.

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

    Anyone know a decent amount about La Liga? Basically I got an accumulator on but I need Real Madrid to win and Sevilla/Barca to draw. I don’t know a lot about Sevilla tbf

    As per previous page reply...

    I actually feel sorry sometimes for David Silva. He's absolutely the best player in that City team and very likely the best player in the prem but he gets no recognition for it at all at awards time.

    KDB is a great player (they all are) but is clearly Silva that makes the whole thing work as it does....and by a distance....

    He's fantastic and bang on time sets another one up...

      Would've kept any if I still had them but got rid of Otamendi and Sterling over the last few weeks and didn't want to buy them back for an extra 0.5m each.

      Hopefully the rotation kicks in over the DGWs and I'm vindicated, but I've not followed my own advice that it's worth just picking a City player and sticking with them.
