Four more Double Gameweek 34 matches get underway at 2pm BST on Sunday, including Fulham v Manchester City.

The visitors are without Kevin De Bruyne, who is “not fully fit” according to reporter Mike Minay. Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez come into the starting XI, with Bernardo Silva dropping to the bench.

Fulham also make two changes as Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Carlos Vinicius replace Manor Solomon and Daniel James.

Elsewhere, the headline team news from St James’ Park is that Alexander Isak starts for Newcastle United. He comes in for Callum Wilson, with Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon the other returnees.

James Ward-Prowse is fit enough to start for their opponents, Southampton. The alterations – and there are five in total – see Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo and Kamaldeen Sulemana feature.

At Old Trafford, Tyrell Malacia and Marcel Sabitzer replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Antony, both of whom drop to the bench, while Aston Villa are unchanged for the fourth successive game.

On the south coast, Gary O’Neil makes two changes to his Bournemouth XI. The injured Marcus Tavernier and Chris Mepham drop out as Adam Smith and Dango Ouattara come in.

Leeds United, meanwhile, bring in Rasmus Kristensen, Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto for Junior Firpo, Rodrigo and the injured Luis Sinisterra, in what looks like a 3-4-3 formation.

          True, it's the hope that kills and if not now, then likely would have been the usual 85th minute goal conceded.

    Playing this game for a while...I think you have to be happy with anything over 10 for a TC.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep 10 for a TC
      8 for a BB

  9. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Why didn’t Mahrez take the penalty?

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cuz Haaland is the papa

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cause he has haaland tc

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez owner and/or non Haaland TC'er?

    4. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He said they share them. Next one is Mahrez'

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Haaland is the penalty taker

      Pep said that last time Mahrez took one when he was on the pitch I think.

  10. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

  12. Tonyawesome69

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pope with 2 saves already. Southampton peppering. Oh no!

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

      Haven't Newcastle only kept 1 CS the last 12 or 13 GWs? Something like that.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Think it’s 1 in last 12 v utd at home
        Played Watkins over tripp this week
        Cue the tripp cs!

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not expecting a CS. JWP back and Southampton fighting for their lives.

  14. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It’s ridiculous with what ease City get awarded penalties. 9 penalties compared to rest of the league’s average of 2.8. It comes down to playing style and touches in the opposition box, but a difference of 6.2 compared to the rest of the league’s average is oddly high.

    A club that has committed financial fraud has been significantly helped by the referees.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They're in the opponents box so often. Law of averages. Most if them are definite pens.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol, that was the clearest pen you will ever see

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly...

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Where did I question this specific pen? I am commenting on the amount they have accumulated. Their title rivals should’ve had a few more too but the referees have always been reluctant to award them anything.

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What nonsense

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Are you illiterate?

    1. Gizzachance
