Everton v Manchester City is the sixth and final Gameweek 27 match of the day, with kick-off at Goodison Park at 17:30 GMT.

The team news doesn’t make good reading for Free Hitters, with Riyad Mahrez – selected by over 90% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers playing the chip this week – benched again.

Despite fears over mass Pep Guardiola rotation after last week’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, there is only one change to the City starting XI as John Stones comes in for Kyle Walker at right-back.

Mahrez is joined among the City substitutes by the fit-again Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin does not make Everton’s squad because of a groin injury that will keep him out for seven to 10 days.

Abdoulaye Doucoure replaces him in the starting line-up in Frank Lampard’s only change from Gameweek 26.

GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Kenny, Iwobi, Allan, Van de Beek, Doucoure, Gordon, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Patterson, Gray, Townsend, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Rondon, El Ghazi, Alli

Man City XI: Ederson, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Sterling

Subs: Carson, Slicker, Walker, Ake, Jesus, Grealish, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mahrez

  6. Magic Zico

    Haha no penalty,we are blind even with VAR

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lewis Dunk does that and it's a pen and a red card

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      And an own goal

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

  13. Feloh
    • 9 Years

    Brown envelope full of oil money to be handed to the geezers at the VAR room after this game.

  14. Steve The Spud

  15. g40steve

    Foden Yc

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Typical

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    isn’t the new rule if it hits the upper arm (short sleeve area) then it is not hand ball ?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I don't know, but we don't look at the rules here, we just allege corruption.

  17. Granville

    Foden yellow puts him out of the bonus.

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I know he scored but I’m so happy to have finally sold him

      Such a horrible player

      1. sk24
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Disagree. Good pick.

  18. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Check the refs bank account balance in the Caymans...

  19. LE CHARO
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    One of the most shocking decision I have ever seen. They didn't even send the ref to the monitors.

  20. GoneFishing
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Everton were robbed

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Foden loves a Saturday evening tussle.

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He needs to get his mum on to deal with the situation.

  22. JONALDINHO

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Serious investigation is needed. How in the world is that not a penalty. They give one to City last week for a less deliberate handball. Joke of a decision

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Into what, refs are crap there's no conspiracy

      • Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        The Spurs player's hand was well above his head last week. I was surprised that this one wasn't given, but it was way less obvious.

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          And it was apparently offside before the handball anyway.

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I mean DCL would have missed anyway but it’s true

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Would have been Richarlison

        2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          DCL has missed 1 pen in his career
          And isn't playing regardless

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            The 1 bloody game I’ve ever capped him in!

            1. Josh.E
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              I remember that red arrow

      • Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Because it was offside in the build up so it would have been a penalty but no need to review it if it was already offside.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Offside before handball

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        If that's the case, premier league need to take a leaf out of rugby book and at least communicate (mic up the officials) as 99% of people don't have a clue what is going on and why

    3. SINGH

      Hi Bowen out for who next week?

      Was thinking JWP or Raphina?

      1. SINGH
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Or should I get in Coutinho?

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        JWP on current form

      3. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is Willock worth considering?

        1. SINGH
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Newcastle have Palace, Chelsea, Spurs and Wolves in next 4 out of 6 so I don't think it would be worth

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno+Foden vs. Sterling+Sancho was the total wrong call yet neither did well. Awful game week

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Could go either way, just not today unfortunately.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          All 4 disappointed tbf. Foden ok I guess but nowt much

    5. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cost me a probable 2 points, that!!

    6. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Foden. Fantastic.

    7. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Disgraceful decision

    8. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      The joy of being a Liverpool fan but also having 2 City defenders in my FPL team.

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3927980/event/27/
      Wish this were my FH, DDG, Cancelo, Laporte, Foden, Son, Adams and Kane. Livramento off bench for Maguire.
