Captain Options

Kevin de Bruyne is the standout captaincy pick in this game. After a slow start, he is slowly returning to old form. He was amongst the assists for Belgium during the international break.

Riyad Mahrez will get a start in this game due to the unavailability of Torres and Jesus. He has a point to prove and we might see him on the scoresheet today.

Differential Pick

Phil Foden is possibly Manchester City’s best attacker on form. He scored a splendid goal versus Liverpool in the last game.
