Last seasonโ€™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

    Please can someone give me a valid reason why I took Jovetic out of my team? Im desperately trying to find one... please help

    1. Bolt-on
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would have done the same if had him

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he hadn't scored today, he likely would have been dropped to the bench for Stoke. And he still may lose out to Aguero. Bad luck, but totally valid decision.

    3. Resnais
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's not at all nailed. Good decision med/long term.

    Wonder how many of those people who kept Jovetic would have actually sold him if there were decent mid price forward options ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      Honestly, I had a lot of confidence in him, he's a great player. Last year he had problems with injuries. Anyway, too many problems in defence to take hits for my forwards.

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So much this! Or if he'd been priced at 8.5/I'd had .5 in the bank.

      I'm glad Pelle said that Aguero won't start next week either.
