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.

  10. Clintymints

    It must be a nightmare being a fullback running after Sterling for 60 mins and seeing Sane come on for the remainder

  11. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Well Done Doherty Owners

    1. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not yet but hopefully

  12. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Shaw + Fraser > Jonny + Martial for free is a no brained right?

  13. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    For some reason I'm thinking of the ugliest Potato Man you could build from City players.

    Sane's hair. Kun's hair colour; Ederson's neck tattoo; Sterling's beard; Mahrez's matchstick legs; Sterling's gun tattoo.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You win random thought award.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      To be honest that sounds like the appearance of most of the guys on love island.

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      And runs like Mendy

  14. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Not that I’m being greedy but Doherty’s current 9 points currently sitting pretty in middle of my bench 🙁

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      not enough currents

  15. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    mendy/fodder -> fodder/ martial ?

  16. fpork
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Got 0.0£ ITB and 2FT. Considering Duffy->Dunk and Hazard->Sterling. Other suggestions?
    Ryan - Hamer
    Mendy - Robertson - Doherty - Duffy - Zabaleta
    Hazard - Salah - Martial - Richarlison - Kenedy
    Wilson - Arnautovic - Agüero

  17. 420king
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How lame is it that conceding a penalty doesn't give negative points like missing one?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I think it's a great rule.

      1. 420king
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ederson owner.

  18. Hughes the Daddy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty hoovering up those baps

  19. Bialystrzelec
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Arsenal likely to score? Are they attacking to this point?

  20. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    So when are we screaming Aguero in Unison again

    Is he looking $h!t hot for another one?!

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Where are those guys super confident on Arsenal scoring?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Anti-jinx gang

  22. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Played Hojbjerg over Bennett with Maddison out this week. It was the right move on paper tbh. I won't feel too bad unless he scores 😆

  23. C'mon the Fylde
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else thinking of shipping Hazard?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah right before Fulham.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends who you bring

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure, yet. Trying to week Aguero back in for next week.

        Ryan
        Alonso Mendy Robertson TAA
        Sterling Salah Hazard Fraser
        Wilson Arnautovic

        Patricio, Vokes, Billing, Bennett

    3. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No way. He does this every season, couple ropey gws then ... bam. Haul.

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yes
      have some time to ponder

    5. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm in less of a hurry to buy him

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good Christ no - are you on drugs

  24. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Getting Maddison over Martial 4gws ago is probably the worst transfer decision I have made yet, this season.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I did Richy to Madders 4 weeks ago

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Probably the worst fantasy decision I’ve heard ever

  25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty (C) next week lol

  26. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Surely it's time to sub Patricio now and park the bus.

  27. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling is useless in matchs vs top 6 teams.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What's that got to do with this match?

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Boom

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should be hauling here then.

  28. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sold Ederson for Fabianski a few weeks ago

    Points wise unit hugely different but I have steroid'd my team as a result

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      *not hugely

  29. BigBillyBass
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Pep regretting he sold Joe Tart

  30. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Ederson single handedly costing many of us minimum 8 points over the last 2 weeks.

    Mind you, that blonde haired lady upfront for City looks alright.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      *LAD lol

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think you were right the first time. 😀
