Pep Guardiola ‘Roulette’ has struck once again as the Manchester City manager named his team sheet for the visit of Watford.

Raheem Sterling (£12.2m) has been dropped to the bench for the first time this season, replaced in the starting line-up by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m).

Also missing from the starting XI is Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.6m), who has not even made it onto the bench.

Benjamin Mendy (£5.9m) has come into the side in his place to start at left-back.

Key options Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m) are both in the starting line-up.

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has named an interesting formation as he prepares for a tough afternoon of football.

Gerard Deulofeu (£6.2m) has been chosen to lead the line while defender Kiko Femenía (£4.4m) is deployed on the right flank of attacking midfield.

A new budget defender has emerged in Dimitri Foulquier (£4.0m) who starts the match at right-back.

There will be plenty of interest in events at Turf Moor this afternoon as Burnley take on Norwich.

The 10% invested in Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) may be giving him his last chance as he starts against the porous Norwich defence.

Meanwhile, Teemu Pukki (£7.1m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.9m) both start for the Canaries amid continued transfer activity for both players.

Finally, Everton manager Marco Silva has trusted Moise Kean (£6.7m) another chance at leading the line this afternoon.

He and Bernard (£6.5m) represent two changes from the side that lost at Bournemouth in Gameweek 5.

Sheffield United also make a change in attack with Callum Robinson (£5.3m) coming in for David McGoldrick (£5.5m) to lead the line with Oli McBurnie (£5.9m).

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Norwich XI: Krul; Lewis, Godfrey, Amadou, Byram; Tettey, McLean; Cantwell, Stiepermann, Buendía; Pukki.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Delph, Schneiderlin; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Kean.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Robinson, McBurnie.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Walker; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, D Silva; Mahrez, Aguero, B Silva.

Watford XI: Foster; Holebas, Dawson, Mariappa, Foulquier; Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes, Cleverley, Femenía; Deulofeu.

    City not trying much. 9 points are all for Aguero in 7-0 win. Disappointing.

    VAR not overturning decisions when they're blatantly wrong is a complete joke.

    Jesus and Sterling for the midweek cup. Means Kun keeps his place for GW7.

  8. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Dyche needs to sub off Pope so Pukki can score

    Do you think Pep has told them to hold off now out of respect

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nope. Pep doesn't do respect. He has said many times he wants more and more goals, never rest.

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Shouldn't. Goal difference is a thing. Maybe hold off on the celebrations but keep trying to score. More disrespectful not to in my opinion.

  12. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Brag because I'm chuffed to the back teeth after an awful last week. Brought Otamendi in for KWP and Mane for Sterling. Also stayed patient with D Silva. Kane captain.

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool would have stopped attacking after 3rd goal. Thats why they'll never be premier league champions

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
