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.

    No KDB, and now Stones loses cleanie, absolute WASTE of a FH

    Pathetic

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

      Stones is for attacking points.

      Man City aren't for clean sheets...

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        True I guess. Still though what a waste, absolute waste of a FH so far

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have no Brighton in my squad and brought in Mitoma and March on my FH along with Ederson and Dias. My non FH team had the likes of Estupinan and Toney, would have been better off not using it

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Absolute joke ain’t it, cannot wait for this season to be over, may even just leave playing from now on, zero point to the game these days whatsoever

    3. boc610
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      city rarely keep clean sheets, what just happened is totally normal

    4. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It is a double game week. Keep the faith, mate! I also have KDB and Stones on my free hit.

  2. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Only one goal so far from TC Haaland:(

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah he’s only scored one so far, it’s 1-1

  3. Sailboats
    • 10 Years

    5. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

  5. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    God I hope not playing Kev costs the bald fraud the title

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would you rather KDB get a worse injury and miss the rest of the season or just the one game to recover today?

    2. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If City cant beat Fulham without KDB

      They wouldnt deserve the title IMO

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Injury not rotation?

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s injured?

      1. SpaceCoyote97
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Knock, not serious.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Point is there is a reason, not just random rotation.

  7. Scapegoat Salah

    2 years, 10 months ago

  10. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

  11. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Changed my transfers from Steele and Alvarez to Ederson and Mitoma at the last minute :/

  20. Zenith UK

    Man U lucky there!

  21. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Tbf decent goal from Fulham, no chance of Ederson saving it

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

      Keeper riveted to his spot

      Rocket shot

  22. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bournemouth's fighting spirit has been amazing this season. Lost 9-0 against a team that's not in the top 5 at the moment, and still managing to stay away from the relegation scrap. Commendable.

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, no one gave them a chance for a long time. Fair play to O' Neill.

  23. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ream arm or wrist injury

  24. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So glad I swerved city defence. Felt wrong.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Well you are now, hindsight

  25. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I know many are having a rough time this week... but on a BB and I had 3 points out of 4 players yday (triple Bri mids + fabianski) along with Ederson + Dias today and no Haaland captain.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Biće bolje, buraz moj

  26. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ederson has been a disaster. Might cost me a mini league.

  27. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Might get bit on the Arsenal for benching their assets if City don't win this one. Could make them well up for it against Chelsea.

  28. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Great set up from Narco Silva. Not much space for City.

  29. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ream off is bad news for Fulham

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ream is an important loss
