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

  Perhaps, seems a good Cash replacement. But I need 0.3 mill.
  
  Given that, and well James injury record, maybe I wont, but he will be in my considerations.

I wish Daniel Sturridge would stop the comedic act. Too much mixing with Micah Richards?

I saw his appearance on Monday night football and he was excellent. Real good insight on what it’s like to be a premier league striker. Was honest and intellectual

But suddenly in the presence of Micah Richards he’s turned into a prop, laughing manically and coming off like a bit of a clown.
