There are a pair of 4pm kick-offs for our Sunday afternoon assessment, as Everton host Manchester City, while Watford search for their first win against an out-of-sorts Southampton outfit.

The Toffees punished Saints’ new look defence last weekend, ranking joint-second for big chances (three) behind Stoke City (five). The Merseysiders placed fourth for home clean sheets (eight) in the previous campaign but face a tall task trying to pacify Man City’s effervescent attack, considering they put three past Chelsea’s experienced back line.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman will be looking for a big response from his players at Vicarage Road, having watched them ship five goals in their opening two league clashes. No side has conceded more goal attempts from set pieces (eight) than Southampton this season and it will be interesting to see if Quique Flores’ side can look to exploit that apparent weakness.

    What's nice is that even though I didn't captain Aguero, with 25% ownership and 15% captaincy, this will be one of those rare occasions where a haul will still give me a boost. 🙂

    16. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I feel for you Aguero non-owners. Must be torture to watch.

      1. The Chosen One...
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        just as much torture watching him not bury those

      2. BLACKSHEEP
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        It's torturous as a non-captainer

        I can't imagine not owning.

      3. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This

      4. JedJez
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        That's why I'm not watching... Got Sanchez captained instead

      A little tempted by Pedro and Wilson in for Payet and Gomis.

      The -4 might pay for itself this week, with Payet and Gomis with quite rough fixtures... and think the forme two could be better in the long term.

      Have the exact funds too.

      Hm.

      1. Jay_
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I love those moves, think you should go for it

          Yep.

      2. dribbler

        Barry...

      4. Hakuna Juan Mata
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero's two shots were saved because I have him captained

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Your not that special

      5. Namtab Nomolos
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Why??? Why must you torture me like this? Tadic sits on the Southampton bench and Wilson sits on mine. Now I have to to sit through the game hoping he doesn't come on and still end up with 1 point at the end.
