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.

  17. Old Wulfrunian

    Semenyo nowhere near bonus.

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      At least that

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      He will be if Leeds score

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      rarely is with one attacking return sadly

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      He's encouraging those useless twitter threads you see about him v Anderson in the last 6. Trash being passed off as insight.

  18. F4L

    palmer is bracing tomorrow

    1. SINGH
      • 7 Years

  19. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    Think I will captain Semenyo next GW - 90 minute man for City

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      Depends how long and how much TV you are going to lose.

    2. FantasyClub

      Exactly what im doing

  22. JBG
    • 7 Years

    Farke AMers in the mud

  23. Mother Farke
    • 2 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    1-0 to the Arse...City.

  24. Henning
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    Ekitike in for Evanilson if he is injured right?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      Oui

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    This can't be a BB right?

    Darlow (SUN) Rogers (CHE) Chalobah (avl) Gudmundsson (SUN)

    I'd be buying Gudmundsson in for Reinildo to hit the button. Seems bad though. Wish I could swap Rogers for Semenyo but I can't so it's a probable roll for me.

    1. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      Not for me

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      Not quite with Rogers’ form and you know with double Leeds defence that Sunderland will score in midweek

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      Could be. But, shouldn't be.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      With cheap Leeds players, GW33 or GW35 should be better for BB?

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      No

  26. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    What happens to Celtic and Rangers?
    Just realised I can’t even name 1 player between the two without googling it.

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    Semenyo no bonus despite scoring the only goal and winner, yeah right LMFAO

    1. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      A joke.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      when goal winning bonus gets added when the game updates tomorrow, he might get all 3

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 6 days ago

        Hope so. Not right, otherwise

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 6 days ago

        Winning goal bonus is added during the match.

    3. denial

      It does seem silly.

    4. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Lost many duels and the ball countless times

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    kane has scored 2 goals in each of his last 4 league appearances

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      Roy of De Rovers

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 6 days ago

      I think because he's not a big time Charlie, and his derpy speech, it's kind of taken for granted just how good he is.

  29. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 6 days ago

    Can Virgil keep his FPL form up?

    Thinking Dorgu > Virgil (bench Senesi/Chalobah)
