Sunday’s pair of Gameweek 21 matches get underway at midday as Crystal Palace welcome Manchester City to Selhurst Park.

The latest teamsheet twist from Pep Guardiola sees both Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling drop to the bench, with Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus joining Bernardo Silva in the front three.

Ranked fifth and seventh top captains for Gameweek 21, Aguero and Sterling have been backed by 7.2% and 4.8% with the armband against the only side yet to register a clean sheet in front of their own fans.

Over 219,00 FPL managers drafted in Sterling on the back of three successive double-digit returns, though it’s worth noting that he’s emerged from the bench to score in two of his three sub appearances this season.

A big haul from the ever-present Kevin De Bruyne could have an impact on the FPL standings – 4.05% have handed the Belgian the armband as he goes in search of a sixth double-figure haul of 2017/18.

City arrive with the league’s best defensive record on the road, claiming more shut-outs (six) and conceding fewer goals (five) away from home than any side.

Yet the Eagles have proven a reliable source of goals at home – indeed, they have scored exactly twice in seven successive matches at Selhurst Park, which includes clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal.

With a goal or assist in all but one of those seven encounters, Wilfried Zaha has played a pivotal part in their renaissance under Roy Hodgson.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.
