Starts for Sterling, Aguero and Lacazette but Aubameyang misses out

Two Premier League fixtures take place this evening, bringing Double Gameweek 35 to a close.

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Arsenal in the 19:45 BST kick-off at Molineux before the Manchester derby gets underway at a rain-soaked Old Trafford 15 minutes later.

Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero both start for City but Pep Guardiola has made three changes to the side that beat Spurs on Saturday, with Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho and David Silva replacing John Stones, Phil Foden and the injured Kevin de Bruyne.

Bernardo Silva continues on the right flank with Sterling on the opposite wing, meaning no start for Riyad Mahrez or Leroy Sane.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has wielded the axe after the 4-0 loss at Everton, with Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young, Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard returning in place of Phil Jones, Diogo Dalot, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial.

All bar the injured Jones of those five players are among the substitutes.

There is no Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Arsenal matchday squad, with the Gabonese striker and wing-back Sead Kolasinac among seven players to drop out of Unai Emery’s starting XI.

Arsenal say that Aubameyang misses out this evening having had a “small sinus procedure”, while Kolasinac is among the substitutes.

Shkodran Mustafi, Mohamed Elneny, Carl Jenkinson, Matteo Guendouzi and Konstantinos Mavraponos are the other men to make way as Sokratis, Nacho Monreal, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Granit Xhaka, Lucas Torreira, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi are recalled to Emery’s line-up.

The Arsenal head coach looks to be reverting to a 4-2-3-1, with Iwobi, Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil supporting Alexandre Lacazette in attack.

Leander Dendoncker for Morgan Gibbs-White is Nuno Espirito Santo’s only change, meaning that Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota, Matt Doherty and Jonny all get two starts in Double Gameweek 35.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Darmian, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Young, Fred, Pereira, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota

Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette.

        I don't get this. -4 is gambling 4 points. -8 is doing it twice. Each one doesn't get more unlikely to pay off just because you've done another one.

      I actually like those moves. Maybe losing Erik for a hit might bite you, but it’s not like he’s explosive these days.

      But all 3 players you’re bringing in look great from here on out.

      If you’re chasing, may as well go for it. If consolidating, don’t.

          Doubling up or spreading the risk over two defences is more of a psychological thing than anything else. Coverage in defence as a strategy does hold a little water unlike attacking coverage which is a completely useless idea but when it comes to picking your 11 eggs in baskets and attackers vs defenders is all psychological biases that should be ignored.

          Fwiw I'm playing Gunn over Ryan but it's close to a 50/50 so ignore me and back your boy there

    There's two ways I see this going. Which one would you like?

      I think it depends on whether you want to TC Salah. If so, get him in. If you don't rate him enough to TC him against HUD H, then probs not worth for a hit (I'm not a big Salah fan so take that with a grain of salt)

      I can't justify losing Sterling, Jota or both Aguero and Eriksen in combos just to get Salah and a meh replacement.

      How about Gray and Eriksen to Firmino and Redmond? Is it possible? Means you get Redmond vs Huddersfield in 38 and an extra Pool attacker in 36.

          Yeah it all hinges on the pressers for me.

          have 2 FTs and considering a -4 taking Llorente, Duffy and Eriksen out for Firmino, Bennett and Redmond.

          Not sure if it's worth the punt to get rid of Eriksen though. Plus a hit could mean being booted from LMS. 🙂

    Broke into the top 20k with a massive 122 points and chasing my record from previous and first season (17k'ish). Is there a slim hope of a 10k finish?

    Will be using TC this week. But really clueless on what to do

    A) Eriksen -> Mane (TC)
    B) Sterling + Ryan --> Salah (TC) + fodder -4
    C) Aguero + Jota/Deulofeu --> Salah + Rondon -4

    Feels dumb to get rid of Jota or Deulofeu before a good run in. So its either A or B I suppose.

          Well, you have a strong team for next week right now, which is one of the reasons I wouldn't take a hit. Instead, I'd be looking at the final three GW's as a series in which there are 3 free transfers. You also have some good TC candidates. And while Pool v Huddersfield is certainly the best fixture next week there are others as well, and then a couple more in 37. So that's the context in which I see other options.

        Getting Mane is straightforward swap with Eriksen.

    I can't help but feel it is wiser to use the TC on a City player this week or next instead of a Liverpool asset.

    Liverpool will most likely sub some offensive player as soon as they reach a 2 goal lead. If they don't reach a two goal lead it won't be worth it anyway.

    City on the other hand, should just go pure Hulk and Smash. No reason not to finish the season off with a bang.
