Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this evening with Everton v Manchester City.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Starting with the hosts, there are two changes to Everton’s side from last weekend’s defeat to West Ham United.

Merlin Rohl and Tim Iroegbunam get rare starts as Dwight McNeil drops to the bench and Idrissa Gueye misses out entirely.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola mostly reverts to the side he sent out in the second part of Double Gameweek 33.

The one change is Nico Gonzalez in for Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Rodri is not involved again but Antoine Semenyo, absent in the FA Cup semi-final, starts.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Rohl, Garner, Iroegbunam, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Beto.

Subs: Travers, Patterson, Coleman, Dibling, Alcaraz, Armstrong, McNeil, Barry, George.

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly, Silva, Gonzalez, Doku, Semenyo, Cherki, Haaland.

Subs: Trafford, Stones, Aké, Aït-Nouri, Reijnders, Kovačić, Foden, Marmoush, Savinho.

      Different phases of play.

      Doesn't matter that Barry was initially offside, Guehi starts another phase and at that point he's inside

        Right, but couldn’t you argue the fact Guehi is in the position of facing his own goal and having to make the pass backwards is because Barry was offside behind him

      Glad I captained DCL. Haaland has been trash since December. He's had like two touches in this game. Everton away under the floodlights is one of the toughest fixtures in world football.
