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.

    Aguero and Ibra still even

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not when kun costs more and is getting a ban

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Not for long with the retro ban

  2. UKG

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero (c) fail, Ibra (c) fail. Awful GW.

      You could only captain one, surely you're 50% happy?

    Regarding the elbow incident, Aguero can just say his beard did it.

    So much dead wood in my team, if one of my few decent assets is looking at a ban then it's time to WC.

  12. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    That is why Sterlng isn't a great mid.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      In real life or fpl

    2. sinik

  14. stain
    • 12 Years

  15. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What happened to Aguero? Something about an elbow?

  16. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    C'mon West Ham, 1 more goal...

  17. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling back to not being able to finish

  18. skooldaze
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sorrry guys - if I had captained Ibra instead of Ags (like some who got away with it) - he would have bossed it

  19. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra and Kun score the same number of points for the third week running

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Nasri.

  21. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Nasri too fat and fell over after shot

  22. LAMB TEA
    • 10 Years

  24. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero you silly boy - one stroke but no goals.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero looks distraught

    He knows he is in trouble

    1. blue book
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He was throwing his arms up in frustration throughout the game. He wasn't getting any service.

  26. skooldaze
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What did ags do to possibly get a suspension?

  27. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Nasri's hair makes me hate him even more 🙂

  28. RoysCallerAnne

    I hope he gets a 3 match ban.

    2 FTs look golden now.

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah in the same boat. Would be nice to get Sanchez in for no hit.

  29. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If you were relying solely on Kun's point to save your GW then your squad selection is very, very poor.

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Or you are being very unlucky

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Or didn't have Hazard, Man U or Brom defence...
