there were strong rumours he was dropped because he said he wanted to leave the club in search of first team football.

I'm hoping this is the case. City could still finish third, as unlikely as that is, so there's no reason why whoever is in charge shouldn't play the best team. And if it's a caretaker manager he will want to get two wins under his belt.

I would be 80/20 in favour of Hart playing, although I have unerringly managed to fall on the wrong side of these splits all year so that 20% is massive.

Dearg81

Hart will start, I cant see any point in playing the other guy now. He's on his way in the summer.

FutureGuy

Reading 1 - 3 Manchester City
Arsenal 3 - 0 Wigan

Lemlin

I expect Hart to start. City will be keen to bounce back after their FA Cup final embarrassment.

I think their strongest XI will play.

AdpRo

I must be the only person who wants Walcott to do nothing tonight, the leader in my big money league has him captain while I had RVP, only 5 pts behind before tonight!

CrabieCrawford

Have tevez, nasri, sagna and walcott (c) , really need things to go my way tonight

CSF

Hart, Clichy and Tevez. A Man City clean sheet would probably be the difference maker in me winning 2 money leagues.

Rikand

im not greedy

tonight I will take a goal each from merte, kone and walcott and a hatrick from tevez

Jax Teller

I'd be fairly certain Hart will play tonight . The other keeper hasn't plsyed in the PL ever before don't see why that'll change tonight .

Boots234

My main competitor is 9 points behind and we both have Walcott as captain tonight. He has Szczesny in goal and Dzeko up front while I have Cazorla and Tevez. Bad feeling that he could be ahead of me this time tomorrow!

manual_man

'mon the Kone!

Kinder Bueno

Have Walcott(c), Mert and Tevez tonight. Only have 26 points so far so need big games from all 3. I'd take 25 from them three now!

Bit mental tonight that a loss to Wigan is a better result for Arsenal than a draw

Obv a win is the best result for Arsenal

A draw however means Wigan are relegated and more importantly from Arsenal's point of view would leave Sunderland with nothing to play for away to Spurs on Sunday

A loss would mean Sunderland would have to get a result against Spurs to be sure of survival

The extra point for a draw as opposed to a win wouldnt likely make much of a difference

swoody

Hart, Richards, Kolo Toure, Lescott, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Barry, Milner, Silva, Tevez, Aguero

Brilliant, an unexpected start for Tevez. Now please score about 4 goals

xerces

Like many, this is a massive night in my FF season. I need Walcott (c), Tevez, Clichy and Hart to perform or else my title challenge is over.

This. Preferably all assisted by Yaya to negate my first sub Michu.

Kinder Bueno

Podolski goal, Santi assist.

Meh

SlickRic

fúck you.

no Walcott.

GLaDOS

Kept Santi despite his ****e form, hopefully starting to repay me! Still have Walcott as captain though.

Lemlin

11 minutes in. Hopefully Arsenal rout them now with Walcott grabbing a couple.

km79

So did I ! Then panicked and also brought in Walcott for Michu for 4 point hit and now I'm sitting here hoping Walcott does nothing

Hogey007

santi assist already, could be a long night. just hopefully captain walcott can join in the fun.

Cracker Maloney

Padkir

Maloney!!! Hero!!

Kinder Bueno

And there goes Mert's CS.

Fuck this

Scorpion Sting

Maloney scores. He's on my bench though, feck!

Kinder Bueno

Was never a free in the first place.

KevIRL

No assist as Maloney was fouled for free kick that he then took

Hogey007

left maloney on the bench, disaster of a gameweek this, killed any hopes i had for a nice payout.

Bigtoe107

Feck it anyway left Maloney on the bench and started the waster lukaku!

Devia

What a load of baloney
