Before Manchester City begin their Gameweek 36 double-header in the evening kick-off, we’ve got three more Premier League matches to bring you:

Casemiro Sesko

TEAM NEWS

The most significant team news come from Wearside, although not concering the hosts. Sunderland’s only change sees Lutsharel Geertruida replace the suspended Dan Ballard.

Rather, the teamsheet bedlam is delivered by Michael Carrick – and he did hint at it in Thursday’s presser.

Carrick makes five changes to the side that beat Liverpool, in fact, although two are enforced as Benjamin Sesko and, unexpectedly, Casemiro miss out. The departing Brazilian should be back in Gameweek 37.

Bryan Mbeumo drops to bench for the second time in five Gameweeks, while Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven are also demoted to substitute duty.

Mason Mount, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and, back from a ban, Lisandro Martinez come into the side.

At the Amex, Fabian Hurzeler makes two changes to his defence following the 3-1 defeat by Newcastle last week.

Lewis Dunk and Maxim De Cuyper come in as Olivier Boscagli has to make do with substitute duty. Mats Wieffer is injured.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ only alteration sees Hwang Hee-chan come in for Tolu Arokodare.

Finally, at Craven Cottage, it’s two changes apiece.

For the hosts, Marco Silva prefers Tom Cairney and Rodrigo Muniz to Harrison Reed and Raul Jimenez. The latter was struggling with illness this week.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie replaces Tyler Adams, while Adam Smith is the one deputising for the unavailable Alex Jimenez at right-back.

Justin Kluivert is back on the bench after a four-month absence.
