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.

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Bogle, Justin, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Stach, Ampadu, Gruev, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.

    Is there any more clarity with DGW and BGWs other than what we know about 31 yet?

    I’m going to have to start to try doing some mad shite to grind back 100 points from some miracle.

    cherki not just got away with a clear stamp there? cash/schade etc sent off for way less

    Pickford scores since I got him: 3,2,2,1,1,2.

      Same here. So depressing

      I'm really glad I didn't go for him. So far, going Lammens seems to have been a great choice compared to Martinez, Kelleher, Raya, Pickford who were all being considered.

        Good move, Camzy.

        Pundit of punts seems to have gotten inside Camzy.

    Worth captaining semenyo next week instead of Haaland?

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Yes OR O'Reilly

    2. Nomar

      Every time I go against Robot it ends badly.

    Aaronson is quality. I'd love him at Arsenal. Reminds me of Trossard.

    Got jammy Dubravka 0pts of the bench for new transfer Kelleher 0pts no show - great when it works out…

      • 5 Years
      5 days, 16 hours ago

      Why was Kelleher a no show?

    Leeds starting to tire now after an amazing 35 mins where they should have been 3-0 up

  8. Steavn8k

    What a week. Good thing I have Dubravka coming off the bench to replace Kelleher at least.

    Nunes has created a lot of chances down the right. O'Reilly has more goal threat but both seem good picks. Wish I could have 4 City and include Semenyo.

  10. Bigbars

    Can't believe one of my guys injured after the 60 min mark, in new territory here.

  17. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Feck I didn’t realise Haaland wasn’t just benched

  18. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    It's a banked CS but O'Reilly owners can't be happy that he's gone off with a bit of a knock with the next game just 4 days away.

  19. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years

  27. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 days, 16 hours ago

    Guess who didn’t go with Semenyo because of the blank and fears he will be benched vs WH in GW30? Yeah, I’m an idiot

  29. fedolefan

    I think Cherki may stay on the bench for the forseeable after that defensive effort.

    Man City rattled, Gnonto ripping them apart!
