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 Håvard 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.

    Ah good, Nasri can go and play CB with that haircut. Otherwise he might get on TV and Etihad wouldnt want that. Kolarov no. 9.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      Will probably get away with it given he didn't make contact with the face.

    • walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero could have been red carded there, and maybe even violent conduct. Sharp elbow to Reid's head.

        Not unless he was injured. Cabellero won't be in goal much longer.
