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.

    Fair play City, deserved winners.

    They look untouchable at the moment. Such intelligent passing and movement. Just give them the trophy already.

    1. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hard to disagree, unfortunately

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Made utd look like mid table opposition

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not worried about United. They've looked fantastic recently. Will go back to winning when Pogba is back and linking with Martial imo.

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Mm they've looked poor tbh

        2. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Europa is their level

        3. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Man U fantastic? Lol....

        4. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Martial is like a new signing, glad he's getting a proper run in the team as his United career was looking like Depay mk2

        5. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          They were lucky to beat Newcastle and Bournemouth

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            This

        6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Only a UTD fan can label them fantastic. They been very fortunate of late imo

        7. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Hahahaha good satire

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They are mid table opposition.

      3. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Without Pogba we are :/

      4. Clump
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They are.

      5. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Funny that

    3. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Man U fan here but they look anything but fantastic. Have been fortunate. Nuf is said about Mou but today he put pace and attacking players upfront but really players also need to stand up and show some ownership. Man U played like a mid table team praying to get a lucky draw somehow.

  2. kime67
    • 8 Years

    sterling cocky. pep dont like

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      1. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        lol

        (most likely yeah but obviously not because of that, however he tends to get benched after IBs)

  3. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So, no Salah, backed Mane with the armband.

    I might just get away with it - how many points do we think would stay afloat for say, top 100K this GW?

  4. french holiday
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero cant stop scoring...punishes sellers

  5. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    12 games in and United on -1 goal difference 😯

  6. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Can someone give a truthful BAP count for both games?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      aguero got 1

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not 2 for winning goal?

      2. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That will do me if true as long as Bilva not on 3

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He is on 3.

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

        He’ll get 2 surely? Winnin ggoal bps?

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

          Ignore - he gets 1

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      can't be 100% until the numbers are published. Hoping Martial and Aguags both get 1 each with Bilva on 3

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      The truth hurts

  7. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy + Schneiderlin ➡ Martial + Jimenez for 2 FTs a no brainer right?

    Gives me -

    Patricio
    Alonso - Trippier - TAA
    Salah - Sterling - Martial - Rcharlison
    Aguero - Arnautovic - Jimenez

    Hamer - Bennett - AWB - Ward

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes looks good

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Have followed it till date.

  8. Simply Loveleh
    • 11 Years

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        🙁 Red incoming

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      58 for top 10k
      49 for rest

  10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Beautiful from City. The silent neighbours in red just couldn't compete

  11. TerryVenables
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Have exact funds for these 2 transfers, have 2 FT also so no hit.
    Lamela+Wilson > Martial + Jiminez.
    Pull the trigger now as both look likely to rise tonight?

  12. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    57 points. What an awful GW. Thx God its international break.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's not bad.

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's a fairly decent score

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Better than me 🙂

      2. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Its means red arrow for me which means its bad

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Brag Alert !

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same as me. And 57 is good I reckon.

    5. QUEN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      57?! That’s not bad.

      Vardy was my captain.... lucky to get 46 this week for me

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That’s good

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

    Ederson has been immense this season, but god dammit he cost a lot of points the last 2 games with himself & Mendy. Hopefully he saves the next pen he gives away. I think he just gets bored as he has so little to do all match and tries to liven things up a bit

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      ..or he's just a bit thick

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't be doing that if I was being paid a fortune NOT to do that sort of thing two weeks on the trot.

      But then again, I am not being paid fortunes.

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    1. One Man

    How did Dilva get away with booting the ball away & no YC? Should be tumbling down the baps.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 7 Years
