City make one change as injured Pogba misses Manchester derby

The final two matches of Gameweek 12 kick off simultaneously at 16:30 GMT, with the Manchester derby at the Etihad the stand-out fixture.

Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates in the other tea-time game.

Manchester City have made just one change from the side that beat Southampton last weekend, with Riyad Mahrez replacing Leroy Sane.

That alteration will likely see Raheem Sterling move over to the left flank, as he had done in the Champions League in midweek.

Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy return to the City starting XI after being rested for that win over Shakhtar.

The injured Paul Pogba misses out altogether for United, while Romelu Lukaku is fit enough for a place on the bench after a return to training on Friday.

Alexis Sanchez drops out of the United line-up, meanwhile, with Marcus Rashford set to lead the attack.

Marouane Fellaini returns to a defensive-looking central midfield alongside Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

In north London, Unai Emery has made one change from the side that drew with Liverpool: Alex Iwobi replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the right flank.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains unchanged, though Diogo Jota has recovered from injury to take his place among the Wolves substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Coady, Bennett, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Well let's be honest. Conceding away at Arsenal was never going to be a big surprise

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        really its not an invinciblle arsenal team lol

            • 6 Years

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              they were hopeless but did enough to score...auba missed an open goal from a couple of yards out

    4. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yup. Big difference in points. Thankfully it wasn't Laca or Auba that scored.

    5. Planet Head

    I have averaged 63 points since wildcarding in GW4.

    Would you say that this was a successful wildcard?

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve averaged 64 with no WCs in that period.

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No

    3. Planet Head
      • 7 Years

      Sounds about average for people on this site

    1. The Albatross
      • 14 Years

      I think I'll be on 63 after baps. Fairly happy with that

  11. Gudjohnsen

    Aguero on 1 or 2 baps?

        Would you say MU or EVE have a better run of fixtures over next 4?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          I’d say united do

  13. NestorC
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How Martial looked?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      anonymous like the whole united team. They had one shot on target

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Did nothing apart from score a penalty.
      Not saying that's a bad thing.
      54 Points in the Last 5 Matches.

    Wilson + Lamela > Jiminez + Martial?
    2FT and exact funds so would have to be tonight.

  16. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

    The scores this week have a proper Brexit feel to them

  17. french holiday

    tony martial..came from france...tony martial scores again

  18. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I'm going for Martial. Have Bilva though

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Martial only profited because Pogba didn't start and Lukaku let him have the penalty

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        better have Martial take pens than Pogba with that run up

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        His form is red hot even without the pen today and his fixtures are good

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Reply fail 😳

  19. XabiAlonso

    Today has been a good day

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Carvaleiro - 3
    Mkhi - 2
    Leno & Jimmy - 1

    Very low BPS though so could be slight changes.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes jimmy!

  21. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Richarlison still yellow flagged?

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      he got injured again tonight

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ankle still not quite right perhaps.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Went off after rubbing his groin for half the match.

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Groin injury picked up today

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He came off with a groin injury, so no point to take it off of him.

    6. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hmm, Ankle's not right, groin's not right. How is he not red flagged?

    7. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2 weeks to rest
      Im not worried

  22. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    As an Arsenal supporter we've done exceptionally well to somehow come away with a point there. Leno was brilliant. And credit to Wolves who are one solid side. Only thing I dislike about them is the time wasting.

  23. Ha.
    • 8 Years

      Man City

  24. aborg

    There is a chance that Aguero gets no bps is Martial gets 1 more baps post match

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A slim chance.

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Slim Shady chance

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      both can get 1 baps

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Both won't.

        1. french holiday
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          if both have same score then i guess both can

  25. Bialystrzelec

    Salah > Sterling tonight before price changes?

    1. TorresMagic™

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        how is that a no brainer? sterling is as expensive as aguero if you already have aguero you dont need to put sterling in? he could be benched as well

    2. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      is it a no brainer if you already have aguero?

          1. Louis Van Gaalstones
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            An arsenal striker wouldn't go amiss, and Sterling would be nice to fit in somehow

            1. Bialystrzelec
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              It doesn't require more than 2 transfers. Waste of WC imo

        Salah to Sterling?

        Or will Raheem be benched after the international break again?

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 5 months ago

            No idea but I'm not risking it.

            Pep was unhappy with Sterling at the end of that match. Wouldn't risk it myself.

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah, probably unwise all things considered. Thanks all.
