    i may be mad, but when teams start getting praised all round like city currently, and rightly so, invariably they end up losing, and no better team than arsenal to spring a major surprise.
    Be warned

    My first thought is that Wenger can’t be that stupid, and then I remember he played wing backs at Anfield!

    Sticking with Kane but Aguero is tempting.

    Same here, Aguero was my gut and I've been trying to convince myself to go with the safer Kane option.

    If we're looking at Arsenal's form, they have been very exposed by Everton and Swansea in the last 2 games. City could destroy them.

    The formation was fine and had absolutely nothing to do with the defeat, it was the personnel and the amount of them played out of position.

    I'm being sensible and staying with Kane.

    Even is City hammer Arsenal there's no guarantee Aguero gets a huge haul, there's goals and assists all over that team. If City are comfortable after 60-70 mins you could well see Jesus coming on for him too.

    If Spurs hammer Palace Kane will be involved heavily.

    But yeah I can see the temptation with Aguero, my gut is leaning towards him too, but generally best to play this game with your head!

    Looking at the list of casualties West Ham have at the back I'm very tempted to go with Salah as a differential but haven't the balls to pull the trigger :D

    Kane is obviously the outstanding candidate, but I'm worried he could be rested considering the fixture and his injury.

    I swapped Kane for Aguero last week because of the injury (bad move), now I don't know whether to swap back. If I knew Kane was starting v Palace I would.

    There is no way Kane is rested. He started against Madrid. He's fit, and Spurs are toothless enough without him.

    I agree.

    I was thinking Pochettino might go easy on Kane but his rotation was enforced with Lloris and Toby A out so he won’t want to go making further changes.

    It’s the reason I think he’ll start Bavies too.

    I've captained Kane and Vice captained Aguero.

    What happens if the unthinkable happens and both are rested:o, do I lose my captain bonus:confused::)

    On the very slim chance Kane doesn't play I'll just have to settle with some bloke called Aguero. Kane captain Aguero vice for me purely because of who they are playing.

    I'm in the opposite position - have Aguero but I'm tempted by Kane. I have little doubt that Aguero will get loads of chances but I'm afraid he won't start.

    I've taken a chance on Abraham this week. I'm having an awful season, my worst ever and by some distance so need to take a few gambles now.

    Bottled it and switched from Sané to Kane at last minute.

    Stuck with my gut and gave it to Kun.

    It's a rare chance to have such a good differential.
