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

    Coutinho off Balo on......ohh that's next week. Can't wait. As a neutral I'm looking forward to watching Pool.

      Rodgers will keep Coutinho. Balo for Allen and Hendo back in the line with Gerrard methinks.

    I don't have any players from MCI or LIV so I would be happy with 1-1 draw (unexpected goalscorers) 🙂

  5. tm245

    Dzeko should only pass via backheel.

    1. piquiblanco
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He should never pass (I have him)

    Cant decide what I should do with my free transfer. Got 2 mil itb. Thanks! 🙂

    Bego-Hamer
    Clyne-Jones-Shawcross-PvA-Moore
    Mata-Lamela-Ramsey-Henderson-Siggy
    Bojan-Costa-Rooney

    A) Bego to Lloris > Wont risk playing Bego next week so will be forced to play Hamer if I dont sub out Bego
    B)Hamer to Krul > Give me more rotation options with Bego got tough fixtures / Bad form
    C) Shawcross to Terry > Same as with Bego, will be able to play Terry every week and Stoke has been poor in the starting 2 games.
    D) Mata to Hazard > Mata might get benched if United signs Di maria and United is far from impressive so far.
    E) Bojan to Pelle > Bojan might start to drop soon, Southampton also got great fixtures.
