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

    What is Mignolet doing?

  4. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    such a shame he's made of glass

  5. Gerbs
    • 11 Years

    so WC for aguero seriously?

  6. DVassell
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Captain aguero justified (although not really because I removed jovetic oh well)

    Which wagon will take off the fastest? Jovetics or Agueros?

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kun.

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Jovetic is easier to accomodate.
      Guess ppl will knee-jerk Rooney out for Aguero.

    Who got the assists?

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

      Jesus Navas

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

        Oh assist. No assist for the first one, Nasri second one, Jesus Navas third.

        1. Owd Big 'Ed
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Okay, that helps then. No Silva.

          A Sterling goal would now cap it all off!

  9. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mignolet is pretty shit tbh.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Aguero is way over priced. Dzeko far better value

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years

      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty hurt I guess but he'll be back for next game. A 15 cm stud mark on his left thigh.

    • 14 Years

    1. Exilizer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Drop Rooney. No brainer. Form over fixtures.

  26. SW6
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Said this earlier today, but if injury-free (yes I know this is a big if) Aguero will perform at Suarez level.
