Sunday’s 16:30 GMT kick-off is set to be a big one for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, with Gameweek 11’s most-captained player Erling Haaland in action against Liverpool.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the side that started the 4-1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

John Stones, Tijjani Reijnders and Savinho drop to the bench, with Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Rayan Cherki coming into the starting XI.

Liverpool are unchanged from the midweek win over Real Madrid, which means Florian Wirtz keeps his place in front of Cody Gakpo.

Alexander Isak is named among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Gonzalez, Bernardo, Foden, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Bobb, Lewis

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Ekitike

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Kerkez, Isak, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Ngumoha

    Holy... Wirtz is AWFUL. Ekitike in for the simplest pass to be 1 on 1 with Donnarumma and he makes an absolute mess of it.

      You're not allowed to say that. Apparently he's obviously going to come good, it's just a matter of time.

    Sometimes you gotta go with your gut and make the sensible (c) decisions. Unfortunately that's what I did after having it on Mbeumo all week (until Saturday)

      Good week to have a bad week. 10m gameweek rank hurts more when everyone is killing it.

        Because its like if you won the Euro million jackpot and only won £1m.
        A lot of dough, but you'd be soo disappointed with only a mil.
