The FA has found Sergio Aguero guilty of violent misconduct for elbowing West Ham’s Winston Reid in the side of the face in last weekend’s action. An act which left the defender in considerable discomfort.

The Man City striker now faces the possibility of serving out a 3 match ban with Wednesday, 6PM set as the deadline for an appeal. The anticipated suspension has profound implications for the eagerly waited resumption of the Pep Guardiola vs Jose Mourinho cage fights, the first at Old Trafford set for September 10th. Man City are still formidable but you have to give Mourinho, Gregory Clegane Zlatan and co., the clear advantage.
