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.

    Bernardo, hero

    NOR and Cherki 3 baps, Haaland 1

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      NOR on one less than Cherki

    City's high line seems so incredibly exploitable. If Arsenal utilised their pacier players and had a more risk taking approach of going for more low percentage through balls they could cause a ton of problems.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years

      Inferior complex renders them useless in these situations.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years

      Don’t think they have any players fast enough

  5. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gabby Red incoming

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gabriel red surely

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Joke VAR, but I need him next week

    2. Cojones of Destiny

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Both get YC for being children…

  12. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Handbags

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gab should have been off. Cowardly refereeing from Taylor to give both a yellow.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Shocking refereeing AGAIN

  14. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gabriel EXTREMELY lucky that Haaland doesn’t react there

  15. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Pepo also gets a YC…

  16. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Haaland has absolutely done Gabriel there, he lost it and should be off

  17. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gabby 0 pointer but I'm glad it isn't worse

  18. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Now Gabriel can get that header plus a second yellow for takin his shirt off

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Lost 7 points in that tussle

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Should have lost more

  20. el polako
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    If this was the other way around Gabriel would be rolling on the ground trying to get Haaland sent off.

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Haaland YC cost cappers 4pts

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Triple cappers even more

    2. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Only cost me 1

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        He lost a bonus too

  22. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Not selling Gab for the double game week was a disaster. Was easily worth a -4...

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Gabriel very lucky

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    O’Reilly is so good… gotta be first choice for World Cup

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Southgate would’ve played a rb there

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Or Henderson…

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Trippier with his wooden left leg in there.

  25. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Well, I predicted 3-0 to City, and it could have been. Arsenal relied on an error from the goalie. At least we created a chance in open play (Eze hitting post), which is something we've barely done in the league since February.

  26. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    City will pound in Burnley now and they'll stay on top till the end. Where are those 115 fines??

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Fines wouldn’t bother them

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      You could argue that Arsenal have slightly the better fixtures
      But City have the momentum
      Should be great for FPL & neutrals
      It's not just about winning the remaining games but building up a big goal difference .

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Semenyo doesn’t seem like an exciting pick at all anymore. That early impact he had when he joined City fading quickly.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      He could be on a goal had he controlled that troughball earlier

  28. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    I think the Merino injury has hurt us massively and we should have beaten City at hone. If you can't beat your competition, you ain't winning. The crazy thing is that this is City team are still finding their feet. Imagine what they're going to be like next season.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      They're in trouble without Rodri

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        He is the best in his position.

  29. Feanor

    Havertz miss from right in front

  30. The Bandit

    Havertz miss puts Haaland back on a bap
