City make one change as injured Pogba misses Manchester derby

The final two matches of Gameweek 12 kick off simultaneously at 16:30 GMT, with the Manchester derby at the Etihad the stand-out fixture.

Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates in the other tea-time game.

Manchester City have made just one change from the side that beat Southampton last weekend, with Riyad Mahrez replacing Leroy Sane.

That alteration will likely see Raheem Sterling move over to the left flank, as he had done in the Champions League in midweek.

Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy return to the City starting XI after being rested for that win over Shakhtar.

The injured Paul Pogba misses out altogether for United, while Romelu Lukaku is fit enough for a place on the bench after a return to training on Friday.

Alexis Sanchez drops out of the United line-up, meanwhile, with Marcus Rashford set to lead the attack.

Marouane Fellaini returns to a defensive-looking central midfield alongside Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

In north London, Unai Emery has made one change from the side that drew with Liverpool: Alex Iwobi replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the right flank.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains unchanged, though Diogo Jota has recovered from injury to take his place among the Wolves substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Coady, Bennett, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

    Thinking Salah > Martial this week then Hojbjerg & Laporte > Sterling & Sub 4.6m defender for a -4.

    How’s that sound? Team is:

    Alisson | Hamer
    Alonso | Mendy | Laporte | Robertson | Bennett
    Salah | Hazard | Richarlison | Diangana | Hojbjerg
    Aguero | Arnautovic | Jimenez

          That's the risk yes, but Arsenal great fixtures from gw16 I think, and martial scoring well and if I recallbat least 3 good fixtures very soon for man u. Considering something similar myself, yet not decided.

    Hardest thing to keep telling yourself? "You can't have them all, Dakes"

    Really want at least one of Martial/Richarlison, but cannot bring myself to either drop DSilva or go with no Liverpool attack (have Salah currently) to make it happen.

    Can anyone convinced me either way (for/against)?

          Firmino needs to go doesn’t he. Think it’s a no brainer

        One week punt Shaqiri did his job. Now, move him to other 7.7?

            Tempting really. Bit of bench headache with Fraser, Jimmy and Rich in the squad. But tempting.

            Early thoughts on the following for a hit ?

            Mane + Brooks -> Martial + Richarlison (-4)

            So one of my goal this season is to finish first in my country (France). I'm currently 13th, only 26 pts behind 2nd place but sadly 86 pts behind first place (the guy is ranked 7th in the all world), will be hard to catch...

            Missed the selling boat with Mitrovic, worth keeping for Southampton or shipping for
            Jimenez tonight before potential rise?

            It’s just a long way to go until next Gameweek and it’s my only FY

            Really the only thing Rich has over Martial right now is that Rich is pretty much 100% nailed

              I'd say Martial is pretty much nailed. Til he ruffles Mourinho's feathers at least.
