It’s the final match of Double Gameweek 36 as Manchester City face Crystal Palace.

Kick-off at the Etihad is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola hinted that he would rotate tonight – and he hasn’t disappointed. Or rather, he has disappointed a lot of Fantasy managers.

The City boss has made six changes to the side that beat Brentford on Saturday.

Well-owned FPL picks Erling Haaland, Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku are among the players dropping to the bench.

Nathan Ake and Tijjani Reijnders also move down to substitute duty, while Nico O’Reilly isn’t even in the squad.

Omar Marmoush, Phil Foden, Savinho, Abdukodir Khusanov and Rayan Ait-Nouri all come into the side.

And, for the first time since early January, so too does Josko Gvardiol.

Rodri is still on the sidelines.

Oliver Glasner has also tinkered, making four changes from the draw with Everton.

Jean Philippe-Mateta, Yeremy Pino, Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma all return to the starting XI.

Jorgen Strand Larsen, Ismaila Sarr, Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton drop to the bench.

LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Silva, Foden, Semenyo, Savinho, Marmoush.

Subs: Trafford, Dias, Stones, Aké, Reijnders, Kovačić, Cherki, Haaland, Doku.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Munoz, Lacroix, Richards, Canvot, Mitchell, Lerma, Pino, Hughes, Johnson, Mateta.

Subs: Benítez, Clyne, Riad, Kamada, Wharton, Devenny, Cardines, Sarr, Strand Larsen.

Eze + MGW - Barnes + Saka (-4)

Worth it?

Not worth 4 points. MGW for Barnes is enough.

I tried to be different and went with Eze on WC.

Keep hold of him or move on to a 90 min mid elsewhere?

Example: Munoz, Rogers, Eze -> Saliba, Saka, KDH

Will transferring another player out make your team stronger this GW? Saka won't get 90 mins either.

I'm a Saka owner but feels surprising seeing so many thinking of swapping Eze to him. If Arsenal wrap up the title this weekend there's no way Saka sees the pitch in GW38.

Celtic got the worst penalty of all time. I like celtic but that almost looks like match fixing

Never a penalty. Where's he supposed to put his arm when he's trying to head the ball clear?

Considering palace played a strong team against city today, do we think they will be quite tired come the Brentford game in 3 days?
Tempted on a Shade punt as a differential
