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.

    Hope I’m getting my Dewsbury Hall assist there despite a deflection on the way through.

    Semenyo a disaster again, definitely need to swap him for double next week.

    Has to be said Everton have been excellent. They have a lot of quality in the midfield now. Barry was one who I was excited by pre-season. Maybe one for next season if he kicks on

      They've just played with belief in the second half. City have only had two proper chances in this game ( albeit scored from them)
