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.

    Who'd you bench of this lot.

    Ryan
    TAA Duffy Laporte
    Sterling Eriksen Son Deulofue Redmond
    Aguero Jimenez

    Foster Doherty Valery Gray.

    Benching order gone wrong?
    Would you play Gray or Doherty?

      With Ryan in goals i'd definitely be playing Doherty over Duffy.

      Id probably play Gray over Redmond too but its a 55/45

    Need some differentials if I want to win my League. Need to catch up 31 points to #1 and our teams are too similar.

    Most of the top contenders have both Mane and Sterling - am I suicidal for thinking about:

    Sterling + Eriksen --> Salah (C) + Bilva

        Thanks. Thought about that as well. Best I could do would be Eriksen+Aguerop --> Mitrovic+Salah. Don't think that will pay off.

        Here is the team in case it helps:

        Lloris - Foster
        TAA - Laporte - Duffy - Dunk - Valery
        Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Jota - Hojberg
        Aguero - Vardy - Jiminez

        Most teams also have Kun.

        High risk, high reward?

      Is Fernandinho out? If so Bernardo could return to midfield to allow Sane in. That will affect his points. That said it's not easy to stretch more with City cover. Siggy could be a punt if you feel it.

      I'd say to just play your own game and just aim to have the players who you think will score the most. Even small differences in teams/captaincy can have quite an impact on overall points.

        Sometimes your mistakes will lead to opportunity.

        Missed the deadline. Couldn't do Deeney+ Digne to Llorente+TAA and play benchboost.

        My bench would have been
        Gunn 3
        Bednarek 3
        TAA 11
        Llorente 3.

        If TC then it would have been Sterling 8*3

              Thank you for rubbing salt in the wound 😀

              My transfers this gw sucked big time.

              Duffy Eriksen >> KDB Yoshida (-4)

                  Yikes! My bad 🙂 I thought I saw Eriksen. I bought Sané this gw, I think he will do well against Burnley. You could sell Kdb in the team above for him or Sterling if you think he won't start

                    I'm actually thinking about © Raz.
                    Next gw plan is:
                    37: Bobby KDB >> Rash + Hazard
                    38: Jimenez >> Zaha

                    What do you think ??
                    Sane is a no go for me tbh. Can't see him in my team at least this season after TC fail. Completely ruined my season !!

                        Yeah great moves tbh but Captain Raz might not start against Burnley.

                Should I also get Mane for -4 for Eriksen to block ML rival?

                Me: Triple c Salah

                Rival: c Salah and also have Mane, 6 points behind me

                My other mids are Sterling, Son and Højbjerg, forwards are Aguero, Jimenez, Ings

                  Salah TC. With no hit
                  6 points are way too short to play blocking

                Thoughts on eriksen to mane(tc). Or would tc better be used on sterling or kun (probably vs Leicester)

                Foster Deulofeu Kolasinac Valery

                Subs are tricky, not sure about Llorente over Gerry D. I know dbl Brighton defence is risky but I'm not overly confident of my other options keeping a CS.
