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.

      Nice team. Only players to improve is Barkley and Murray (just don’t think Brighton score enough). Murray to Jimenez and roll would be my move but wait until last min for the transfers

        Got him before the GW begun definitely not a trap his form is excellent right now yes United weren't great today but speaking as a Liverpool fan not many teams are going to beat City this season again I've already accepted they'll cruise the league again, back to my point his fixtures are quite favourable especially against a poor Palace at (H) after IB

        Now before prisefall of Maddison and priceraise of Sterling and Martial

        Know its risky before the IB but tempted before price changes.

        It is part of the plan of getting Haz in for gw14 and Kane in for gw15 (then WC)

          2 FT’s and Vardy & obiang > Jimenez & martial is so tempting.

          Madness to do it this early in the international break though?

            If you have enough IB to counter price rises then relax and do it after the IB.. if not go for it, sounds great

            Category 1 madness. What if one, two or three of your other players get injured, or Jiminez or Martial get injured? Wait until the morning of Saturday 24th November, not a minute earlier.

            There'll be plenty more bandwagons if you get priced out.

              Yep you’re all right. I’ll wait and see, I won’t get prices at at this stage so silly for the sake of 0.2

          After injuries to Varane, Vallejo, Marcelo and Carvajal in the last few weeks (all not ready for todays game), Solari had to use all three substitutions today due to injuries of Nacho (CB), Reguilon (LB from Cantera thats covering) and Casemiro (DM).

          Defending a 2:1 lead, the defence for the last half an hour now consists of Odri (RB having to play at LB), Sanchez (CB from Cantera), Ramos and Vasquez (RW playing RB).

          Might apply for the team, there looks to be some spots in the team.

          Should it be Arnie or Wilson to go

          Martial has 6 goals from 13 attempts in the last 6 weeks. Surely unsustainable? Getting rid of Maddison tonight before price drop, but Martial looks like he has to return to the mean, while Siggy and Richarlison limp off today! Decisions decisions...

            I'm always wary about doing moves before the Internationals have even started. Maddison does have to go if there are any more price drops. Do you own either of the two Everton players?
