The first of two Manchester City matches in Double Gameweek 25 kicks off at 16:30 GMT this afternoon, with Arsenal the visitors to the Etihad.

Leroy Sane (£9.8m) has been benched for only the second time in 13 Gameweeks, though Raheem Sterling (£11.3m), Sergio Aguero (£11.4m), David Silva (£8.5m), Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£9.7m) all start.

Danilo (£5.1m), John Stones (£5.2m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m) and Gabriel Jesus (£10.0m) are among the substitutes for the hosts.

Sane was the second-most-popular triple captaincy choice of this Gameweek, with 26,429 Fantasy managers using this chip on the German winger.

Aguero and Sterling were the first and third-most-popular choices for the triple captaincy this weekend.

City still have Everton to face at Goodison Park on Wednesday, of course.

Pep Guardiola’s formation is still to be determined, with City’s line-up missing an orthodox left-back and seemingly set to use Bernardo in a wide role.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) are once again paired up front for Arsenal today, with Unai Emery reverting to a wing-back system for the trip to Eastlands.

Mesut Ozil (£8.0m) is joined by Denis Suarez (£6.5m) on the away bench, with Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) returning from injury in defence.

Granit Xhaka (£5.3m) misses out with a slight groin problem.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3, tbc): Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Leno, Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Lichtsteiner, Iwobi, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

  7. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So, Earlier Sane didn't get the assist as his pass was blocked by keeper before the goal ,but Sterling gets it
    Explain please

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Intended target was Aguero. GK didn't change the intended target.

      1. Stoic
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Oh okay

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

      • 9 Years

    2. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm hoping both Pep and Sane break thier legs and triple vice Kun comes through

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Laporte LB & Sterling LW a revelation!

    Mendy and/or Sane not essential to Pep's plans.

      Oh dear not looking too clever for you with no Liverpool presence. Enjoy it while it lasts.

  12. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So i have Aguero but captained Sane. What should I hope from Sane midweek to make me feel better? 2 goals?

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Also most of my ML rivals dont have Aguero and have captained Sane too

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sane to match Kun's points

    3. shearer9
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hope for as many goals and assist as possible surely? I don't understand the question.

  13. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Get Sane on you bald fraud 😆

  14. Samwise
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    1 more aguero goal, then he can come off... no assist too

  15. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling 2nd assist will be take off if they follow the rules.

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, even a rebound is an assist.

  16. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Thank you for your services Kun... now go off and rest up for Everton...

  17. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane not even warming up.....

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Good, hopefully gets injured before Everton too

  18. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    TC Aguero!!!

  19. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully a Sane no show here then he picks up a knock in training and is out of the Everton game then I get Haz VC. Wishful thinking I know.

    RP
    For those who brought in Aguero for a one week cameo will you be sticking to the plan??
    Or is it faq Aubameyang??

    1. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Will still bring Auba back for his good fixtures. Arsenal always much worse away from home

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      keeping for Chelsea. May ditch for 27, see what happens

  21. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

      No

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      No

  22. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If owning Aguero isn't enough, if not (C) still a big red inside the top 10k, especially if Sané is your captain lol.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. I own laporte, Kun and sane cap. Still horrible.

  23. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Can't really get rid of Kun now

    1. AndyCook
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Until he is benched

    2. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Need a Sterling goal now

    3. Lav
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A promising GW ruined by Sane bench + Agueor haul.

      We go again.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yep.

    4. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane hat trick too tomorrow please. (Mo is allowed an assist or so).

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

        Hello mate, just wanted to thank you for the info you posted re.GW31, I didn't reply until later so you may have missed it, but it was very useful.

    5. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Inform Aguero at home to Chelsea next.. another haul?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah good chance. Chelsea are gash, don't let the Hudds game fool you

      2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Could still play at everton. Even if he gets one minute cameo it will get me 3 points (equivalent to an assist).

    6. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Is Sane even warming up?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nope

    7. Aguerrrooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Can't really get excited about Aguero points when everyone has him at least as captain. I mean who wouldn't bring in Aguero for a double gameweek...

      1. OLEgend
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Me. I kept Auba and saved transfer

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          And me. Didn’t think he still had it in him. Wish he would just do one now!

          1. Aguerrrooooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago
