The London Stadium provides the venue for our first of Sunday’s two encounters, as West Ham host champions Manchester City.

In Fantasy terms, there is no question that our focus is largely on the visitors.

Pep Guardiola has named a strong line-up, with Vincent Kompany and David Silva the only notable omissions from his regular starting XI.

Silva was bought by 65,000+ ahead of Saturday’s deadline, following a run of four goals and three assists, along with 11 bonus points over his previous seven Gameweeks.

The playmaker’s absence means that Ilkay Gundogan is retained, while Leroy Sane is also recalled as Bernardo drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Raheem Sterling starts for a sixth successive match having returned a goal or an assist in each of his last five. The winger was the third-most signed ahead of Gameweek 36, losing out only to Harry Kane and team-mate Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian striker leads the City attack once again, making his third successive start having featured in the XI in four of the last five. He has three goals and three assists over that run and is backed by 158,000 captaincies (2.7%), a similar figure to team-mate Kevin De Bruyne (150,000 or 2.5%).

For West Ham, their hopes of gaining a result surely rely on the performance of Marko Arnautovic. The Austrian has produced ten goals and five assists in 16 Gameweek starts as the Hammers’ lone striker. He delivered again at Arsenal last time out, though he continues to offer a differential option ahead of a Double Gameweek as part of just 6.2% of squads.

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