Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea on Sunday, in the final match of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 12.

Chelsea return to action after Monday’s unforgettable 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, while the champions put three past Young Boys without reply in midweek.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes five changes from his UEFA Champions League starting XI.

Manuel Akanji, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku come into the team, with John Stones, Rico Lewis, Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish dropping out.

Nathan Ake is not in the matchday squad, however.

As for Chelsea, they make one alteration, with Marc Cucurella replacing Levi Colwill, who misses out with a slight shoulder problem. Armando Broja is back on the bench after returning from injury, meanwhile.

GAMEWEEK 12 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, James, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling, Jackson

Subs: Petrovic, Gusto, Maatsen, Badiashile, Ugochukwu, Mudryk, Madueke, Broja, Matos

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Carson, Ortega, Lewis, Bobb, Nunes, Grealish, Kovacic, Phillips

Newcastle given goals for balls that go out, city given pens when Haaland was the one holding at the start

This league is corrupt. Feel sorry for arsenal, no way they can compete with this. They would probably bottle it anyway but at least make it fair

Always a greater risk for a defender to pull an opponents jersey - possible pen. For a forward the risk is only giving a free out.

If Palmer blanks then I’ve benched the wrong one between him and Mbeumo THREE weeks in a row, you got to laugh 😆

My team is too good I need to trim it down

That's not a penalty.
Two players tussling for the ball.
Haaland wasn't even in possession of the ball, Thiago Silva heads it well clear anyway.

I don't understand how that's given.

If any team doesn’t need handouts from VAR, it’s probably Man City.
They already have the best owners, best coach and best players.
Early Xmas presents on top of this are not welcome!

The fact that the VAR is mates with the onfield ref is also a joke. Proper conflict of interest. VAR should be specialists independent of the onfield refs.

Haaland scores, I get 7 more points as it stands, and drop 100k places.

  Well, that's the fun of the game.
  
  But maybe you can learn something. For example, never bench someone with a home game coning up.
