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

    Gakpo, lord above.

    At least he’ll probably have to play the next couple of good fixtures again. Shite finishing but still the only one that gets the chances in this Pool team

      yeah I'm not sure he has the leadership quality or stamina to lead that number 10 role in the EPL. You see Odegaard in that role and he never stops running and pressing.

    Got to give it to my rival, his City triple up is O’Reilly, Doku and Haaland. Dreamland stuff, his only let down this week was capping Semenyo away to an awful Villa, proper freak result ruined for him there.

    Should be a content creator I told him with some of his differential picks that pay off, unreal
