Manchester City kick off their ‘double’ in Gameweek 33 this Sunday afternoon, facing Arsenal at home.

The title showdown at the Etihad gets underway at 16:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola names the same side that beat Chelsea in Gameweek 32.

It means Nico O’Reilly is fit to start.

Further forward, Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku flank Erling Haaland, with Rayan Cherki in behind.

Elsewhere, there is a return to the matchday squad for John Stones.

As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has made two alterations from Europe: Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz in for Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres, who drop to the bench.

It looks like Eberechi Eze will start off the left as a result of those changes.

    Am I correct thinking that Man City vs Palace is the only game to be scheduled and that could be a double GW? I wanted to think that there could be other doubles... maybe just something I've not seen.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Nope

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years

      Didn’t look like, was close?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 days, 4 hours ago

        Looked pretty close hopefully O'Reilly gets it

  11. Cilly Bonnolly

    Captain assist. I’ll take it.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Could have taken a touch from Rodri there

  12. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Haaland goal

  13. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    NOR + Haaland (c)

    That is the combo we needed, get in!

  14. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    O’Reilly intended target is Rodri, assist or not?
    Saliba made contact

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Intended target is no longer part of the rule. Saliba touch is irrelevant

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 days, 4 hours ago

        Save your breath, it’s like being King Canute

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          2 days, 4 hours ago

          Too cultured reference for me

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            2 days, 4 hours ago

            He tried to stop the tide coming in.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 days, 4 hours ago

        Nah I'm an O'Reilly owner but it didn't look black and white

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Haaland (C) never in doubt!

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

    Semenyo captain failure

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Palmer for me might be worse

  18. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Assist Rodri and not O’Reilly?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Nope

  19. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Should be YC for Haaland for taking off his shirt.,,

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Less points for the differential captainers though 😉

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    City winning today then smashing Burnley for the goal difference is the title imo.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A great fixture for City to run riot

  25. TheBiffas

    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Would have been nice as a Gabriel non seller

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      is he any close to Defcons?

      1. SalahFingers
        • 8 Years
        2 days, 4 hours ago

        No. 4

  26. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Would have capped OReilly if not for the week of injury doubt

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Cool

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      I did if it makes you feel any better?

  27. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Gabriel off post

  28. They are eating the dogs

    Why is Arteta pulling out Eze? He was the best Arsenal player so far

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      surprised

    2. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Yeah, I guess he's been injured and probably tiring. But yeah Eze probably our best player today

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      Shoring up the game, they are still leading the league on goal difference

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 days, 4 hours ago

      You joking?
      I forgot he was playing until he popped up with a shot in the 60th minute

  29. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    Ben Brown on

  30. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 days, 4 hours ago

    O’Reilly to be classified as an opposition GK next season, plays so far forward…
