What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via ESPN FC): "I like that style [of attacking play], that's why I said last year that we deserved it [the title]. It was not just because [Steven] Gerrard slipped. It was because we were the best team of the year. We scored a lot of goals in every competition. I'm very proud to continue in the same way."
Hull City manager Steve Bruce (via Mirror): "I don't fear for my job. I've been in this business long enough to know when it's time to roll up your sleeves, and the one thing I'm not going to do is to chuck it in. I've been in difficult spots before."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the players yet to find his form since returning from injury is Manchester City's Sergio Aguero. The 26-year-old had 14 goals and four assists before being sidelined with a knee injury.
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, Mangala, Kompany, Zabaleta; Fernandinho, Fernando; Milner, Silva, Navas; Aguero
