Me too! My intention was to switch them this morning but I'm stuck now. Hope Costa plays...

The prematch preamble on FFS made up my mind late this morning. The Spanish manager said that Costa's injury is very difficult to prove and that it's beginning to be "almost in the realm of the mystical"

When Mourinho was asked if he returned injured for treatment, he said "no comment". Mind games are one thing, blatantly lying would be another.

We'll know on 2h10min.

doesn't look good for spurs defensively, hopefully my shiny new aguero runs riot

Think I should have went with my Lampard hunch. No Yaya and 1 up top.

So it begins.

Fingers crossed Aguero scores a couple.

Silva in behind Aguero captain lovely. Kickstart my season please.

He is always a doubt after internationals as he usually gets back late.

He's starting up front on his own. I expect at least 2. He should have had at least another against Villa if not a hat trick.

Lemlin

The Man City bench v Spurs is - Caballero, Kolarov, Boyata, Touré, Fernandinho, Jovetić, Džeko. Zabaleta misses out.

Ulloa out for Welbeck. Going to throw a fiver on Aguero and Cisse to score two or more.

Begovic
Clyne - Ivanovic - Duff
Fabregas - Di Maria - Sterling - Sigurdsson
Pelle (VC) - Welbeck - Costa (C

)

You have the same front 7 as me :eek:

Seriously doubt he'll start today.

IsMiseMyself

I fear I'm gonna lose my first place spot in my personal league for the first time in about...30 gameweeks.

On the one hand, if Costa *is* rested, I'd rather he doesn't come on at all and (C) goes to Aguero and Aguero scores a few, as expected. On the other, I'm terrified Costa *will* play for a bit and do nothing, and Aguero will still get a few. Thank God the City game is early so it can just be over and done with.

No Yaya...this time last year, that would have caused a lot of anguish in these parts. How things have changed!

Came home late from internationals, was always likely to be benched for this one.

Wenger said he wouldn't be back training till monday

KevIRL

Great to have it back!

SantryRed

I'm already regretting my decision to captain Aguero :pac:

Copper_pipe

Captained Falcao, nervous times ahead

KevIRL

Spurs should be ahead

Nib

Kun scores. Beautiful!

KevIRL

Boom Kun

IsMiseMyself

Is it too much to hope for a 1-1 draw? Aguero goal gotten. Some randomer no one owns with a goal for Spurs then. That'd be nice.

wonski

Switched captaincy from Aguero to Costa this morning.

Not sure if it was such a good idea.

Inspector Coptoor

Eriksen

Paully D

Eriksen, does anyone still have him?

Two teams clean sheets gone though, lovely.

IsMiseMyself

This game is gonna be insane, I think.

KevIRL

Just means Kun has to get more now...

extra gravy

Rival has Dier and Kompany...lovely stuff.

wonski

Who said these early games are to be very quiet and boring?

KevIRL

Lampard assist btw for City goal and Soldado for Spurs

That's 2 goals in 2 from him.

Goaldado assist.

No Chadli involvement. Phew!
