Last season’s top two go head-to-head at the Etihad this evening as Gameweek 2 is brought to its conclusion. Both City and Liverpool go in search of a second successive win, allowing Fantasy managers the chance to assess our options in midfield and attack, with Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge looking to get amongst the goals once again.

Aguero remains on the bench for City, however, as Manuel Pellegrini makes just one change from the side that defeated Newcastle last Sunday. The City boss hands Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko the chance to lead the line again, then, whilst Pablo Zabaleta is drafted in at right-back, with Gael Clichy swapping over to the other flank as Aleksandar Kolarov drops out.

Brendan Rodgers makes a couple of alterations to the XI that started against Southampton last time around. New signing Alberto Moreno is handed a debut at left-back, with Glen Johnson shifting to the right of defence as Javier Manquillo drops out. Elsewhere, Joe Allen comes in for Lucas in the centre of the park.

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

            No City or Pool in my team... sh1tting myself!

              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Ure not alone

          • Jay_
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Jovetic and Sterling (and Kolorov ! ) my interest in this, 3-1 City my prediction

            • FPL Daniel
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              So Clichy at 5.5m could be bargain

              1. theloveburglar
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                why

              2. Zombie
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                If Kolarov isn't nailed on, Clichy ain't either

                1. theloveburglar
                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  exactly

              3. KickIt
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Thinking the same, not much mention of City defense on the site

              4. theloveburglar
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                now mangala once fit could be a great option at 6

                but clichy and kolarov as we all know only too well share game time making either far from bargains

            • Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Dammit Sturridge, you're a striker, not a LB!

              Just looked at the Real Madrid first XI. Unbelievable team....

                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                None of them would get a game for Partick Thistle.

              Should the market now dictate my transfers?

              Krul Foster
              Terry Davis Bartley Caulker Yoshida
              Mata Siggy Hazard Eriksen Ramsey
              Jovetic Rooney Bojan

              2ft's : do I really have to consider transferring out Bojan and Bartley because of imminent pricedrops??

                Jovetic probably. Best to ask after game.

              Really enjoy watching David Silva playing football. The guy has such great movement, great ball control and great vision.
