There’s no Erling Haaland in the Manchester City squad for their trip to Leeds United this evening.

Kick-off at Elland Road is at 17:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

City say Haaland is “not fully fit” for the final Premier League game of the day.

Putting a bit more flesh on those bones, Pep Guardiola said Haaland picked up the problem in training on Thursday.

“Two days ago, in the last moments of training, he had some problems, a little injury. It’s not a big issue but he’s not ready for today.” – Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland, speaking to Sky Sports ahead of kick-off

Rayan Cherki comes in for the Norwegian in the only change from Gameweek 27.

Jeremy Doku is back on the bench after recovering from injury.

Nico O’Reilly, the second-most-bought player of Gameweek 28, is again in midfield.

As for Leeds, it’s the same team that Daniel Farke sent out for the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa a week ago.

    Would you start Truffert (i have Thiago) and save ft or sell him for Andersen?

  2. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    lets go (S)emenyo

    What a game by Burnley

    1. Vasshin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Both goal should have been standed

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        Refs betting on a Brentford victory?

      Pretty sure Hannibal was actually Messi wearing an afro wig 2nd half. Immense performance.

  4. Qaiss

    Up the Leeds

    Early prediction: some nerd will scour through the 90 minutes to find 2 extra defcons for Van Dijk tomorrow

  5. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Cmon Leeds!

  6. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Imagine the scenes if Bruno misses out tomorrow...

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Then I have no captain

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Haaland to Ekitike?

    Surely Haaland cannot recover from injury in 4 days?

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Norwegian TV reporting he will be back for Wednesday

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Thinking the same. He's going to be a burden in GW31 anyway...

  8. JohnnyB10

    Someone said here that Haaland’s dad has forbidden him to score or play vs Leeds lol

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Probably me, said the first part

      1. JohnnyB10
        • 1 Year
        4 months, 24 days ago

        Yeah! Should have played TC vs West Ham and not his dad’s club in the first part of the season, but you surely got a point there 🙂 Injury in training 2 days ago? Common! ))

    Mo Salah has failed to score for 10 consecutive matches in the Premier League, for the FIRST time in his professional career

    just Guehi in this one. So waiting for the non-event of a clean sheet. Think I'm gonna go take a walk to the off license

  11. JohnnyB10

    Bowen 7 points, not bad at all! Looking forward to the London mini derby!

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

    FPL Andy signed a pact with Lucifer?

    PMSL

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Bruno was already the best captain option.. how was that a mistake?

      1. Pornchef
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        Not if you did Ekitike (C) and got his 15 pointer this week

      2. EffPeeEll
        • 6 Years
        4 months, 24 days ago

        at the end of his live deadline stream, and following hisone transfer he stated he had forgotten to move the armband to Haaland.

  16. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    4 months, 24 days ago

    4 months, 24 days ago

    Thiago vc not terrible, but gutted I don’t have Ekitike - might have to do the Haaland to Eki move depending on team news

  23. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Really could do with a 1-0 W for Leeds here

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      2-0 would be better 😛

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years

        Nope just a MU fan and also FPL manager with Haaland as only City asset

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Salah walking away with no attacking return in a 5-2 win really summarises his season.

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      he was trash today. he took 3 corners?

  29. AC/DC AFC
