Gameweek 12 continues with Manchester City v Everton at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Ruben Dias (£6.1m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.7m) drop to the bench for Pep Guardiola’s side, with Kevin De Bruyne (11.8m) and Jack Grealish (£7.7m) missing out completely due to Covid and a minor knock respectively.

As a result, 19-year-old Cole Palmer (£4.5m) makes his first Premier League start, and is joined in the starting XI by Aymeric Laporte (£5.5m) – who is available again after suspension – and Raheem Sterling (£10.6m).

Elsewhere, Phil Foden (£8.3m) has overcome a leg problem and could lead the line, while Joao Cancelo (£6.5m), who has been directly involved in seven goals in 17 games in all competitions for City this term, features at left-back.

Everton are unchanged from Gameweeek 11, with Andros Townsend (£5.6m), Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) and Demarai Gray (£5.7m) supporting Richarlison (£7.4m) in Rafa Benitez’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

GAMEWEEK 12 LINE-UPS

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, Palmer, Sterling, Foden

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Dias, Ake, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Jesus, Mahrez, McAtee

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Godfrey, Digne, Allan, Delph, Townsend, Gordon, Gray, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Iwobi, Tosun, Gbamin, Branthwaite, Rondon, Simms, Onyango

    Got laughed out of town for saying Laporte could actually be City's most nailed CB a few weeks ago. Now he's being rested for the games to come. He balances the team when they have Cancelo playing LB and cutting inside.

    People talk about benching headaches but the last few seasons are a good case for squad depth.

      It’s getting it at the right time though. I’ve only had points first on bench once all year and they didn’t come on.

      I hate the idea of "benching headaches".

      All that means is you have a great squad and that great squad will work for you when some of your players are either benched or have bad fixtures.

      As long as you make a rational choice over who to play, the rest is up to FPL luck and can either go your way or it won't. Either way, as long as the original choice was sensible then you have nothing to beat yourself up about. All it means is you have a 'form' player in your squad already and they may gain value.

    Similar story though - the Fab Four wing backs plus Salah propping up the scores!
