Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) have both been handed rests by Pep Guardiola in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester City are visiting Swansea City to compete for a place in the semi-finals, and to potentially confirm a Blank in Gameweek 33.

If they do, that would mean a third Double Gameweek for the defending champions this season, having faced Arsenal and Everton in Gameweek 25 and already confirmed to be playing twice in Gameweek 35.

That later Double Gameweek is booked out with matches against Tottenham (home) and Manchester United (away), which means Manchester City’s Blank Gameweek 33 home meeting with Cardiff would probably move to Double Gameweek 32 if they leave south Wales with a win tonight.

That would set up a hugely appealing Double Gameweek with Fulham (away) and the Bluebirds (home) their two opponents.

For that reason, Fantasy managers, especially those looking to Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32, will be hoping that Manchester City win today.

Watford already confirmed that they and Fulham would not play in Gameweek 33 with their win over Crystal Palace earlier today.

Apart from the rests for Aguero and Sterling, it is a relatively strong line-up named by Guardiola to take on Championship opposition.

Ederson (£5.6m) keeps his place in goal and plays behind a back-four consisting of Fabian Delph (£5.3m), Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m), Nicolas Otamendi (£6.0m) and Kyle Walker (£6.4m).

David Silva (£8.5m), Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.4m) are the central midfield trio with a three-man attack consisting of Leroy Sané (£9.3m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.2m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.9m).

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Delph, Gundogan, D Silva, B Silva, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

      1. tucaoneo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        Ban!!

    19. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Zinchenko has looked good.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        He's improved a lot over this year. And Delph has declined...

    20. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Does this game finish tonight or replay if a draw.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Extra time and penalties.

    21. Drogba Legend
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      City win = DGW 32
      City lose = no DGW 32

      Right? What other GW for City are affected by this match?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        GW33

        1. Drogba Legend
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          If they lose, they would have a GW33 match then?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 15 days ago

            yes

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        None. They have a DGW in GW35. Spurs and Man Utd are their opponents in that.

    22. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago
