Manchester City face Southampton in the penultimate fixture of Gameweek 33+ and the last Premier League match to take place on a busy Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off at St Mary’s is at 19:00 BST.

Rotation was always a possibility after City’s hectic week in league and cup and Pep Guardiola has made six changes to his starting XI from the side that beat Liverpool on Thursday.

The most high-profile changes see Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) and Phil Foden (£5.3m) drop to the bench after their double-digit hauls in Gameweek 32+.

Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) and Kyle Walker (£5.6m) also make way in the full-back positions, while Rodri (£5.4m) and Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) are rested in central midfield.

There is better news for owners of Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m), who starts after his benching against the newly crowned league champions.

Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) also keep their places in attack, while Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) and budget FPL defender Eric Garcia (£4.5m) start again at centre-half.

Joao Cancelo (£5.1m), Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m), Bernardo Silva (£7.7m), David Silva (£7.3m) and Fernandinho (£5.1m) are the other players handed a recall.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has made three changes from Southampton’s 3-1 victory over Watford, meanwhile.

Che Adams (£5.3m), Jack Stephens (£4.4m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) are handed starts, replacing Shane Long (£4.6m), the injured Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) and Will Smallbone (£4.5m).

Adams joins Danny Ings (£7.3m) in attack, with the in-form striker looking to continue his push for the Golden Boot on the south coast this evening.


Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond, Ings, Adams.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Garcia, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Silva, Bernardo, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

  17. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB and Foden needed

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only Foden

  18. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hi All, I have 2FT to use and defending a narrow ML lead

    A) Maguire,Nketiah > Mendy,Greenwood
    B) Pulisic,Rash > Sterling,Greenwood
    C) other idea (if so, please advise)

    Thanks

    Pat
    Doc TAA Maguire
    Salah Bruno KDB Puli Foden
    Rash Jimi
    (Martin,Aurier,Nketiah,Holgate)

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    This might setup a backlash/bounceback scenario for city home to Newcastle midweek??

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Amen brother

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just like Liverpool against Villa

      (I captained Salah)

  20. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would these be relatively sensible moves for next GW?

    Salah > Martial
    Rashford > Kane

    Already own DDG & Bruno

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City without KDB ...

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly nothing special

  22. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson had been a good few yards outside his box for a couple of minutes before the goal
    Well spotted by Che Adams

  23. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson dumb af, deserves to get goals like that against him far more often than it happens.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This.

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't really think it's his fault, it's their system, he's instructed to play like that.

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fraudiola exposed again then if thats the case

  24. DeathoftheParty
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Che Adams to absolutely cut loose now...

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Captain material vs that Everton defence and Pickford

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hoping it's the Bale affect... 25 game losing streak at LB then the best player on Earth at LW... Mental.

  25. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wish Zinchenko looked like KDB football wise aa well

  26. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bilva dive

  27. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This game needs KdB !

  28. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who is on pens for city?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez if KDB not playing

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Majrez is on a different level to every player on the pitch

    Best city player after KDB and aguero

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And still he is heavily rotated

  30. aborg
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bloody wrong striker scored for Southampton! Who is Che Adams? Lol
