In the final Premier League match of the day, there’s a small matter of a derby at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City take on Manchester United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

For the visitors, Ralf Rangnick will have to cope without Cristiano Ronaldo who has picked up a hip injury, along with Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw, both of whom have tested positive for Covid-19, plus Edinson Cavani.

That means Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire feature at the heart of the defence, with Alex Telles operating at left-back.

Further forward, Scott McTominay comes in for Nemanja Matic, whilst Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho line-up in attack.

As for Man City, Pep Guardiola makes three changes to his starting XI, with Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez replacing Ruben Dias, Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling.

Dias, meanwhile, will be missing for at least four weeks after injuring his hamstring at Peterborough on Tuesday.

Nathan Ake and Cole Palmer are City’s only other absentees.


GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden

Subs: Carson, Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Delap, Mbete, McAtee

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Fernandes, Sancho, Elanga

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Dalot, Jones, Hannibal, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Rashford

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Apart from UCL

      2. Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I think that's the point..

  3. HonestBlatter

    Cancelo -> James (C) would have prevented to Raph (C)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah same here 😆

    2. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Would have prevented salah (C)

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Sold Laporte for James. Couldn't decide between Raphinha and him (feared his minutes), so did lazy C Salah. Well, I can only blame the man in the mirror.

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Great goals from both teams ...

  5. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Cancelol the differential 😆

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Sold him on WC. Going well so far..

  6. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Not doing Cancelo to James a season killer

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      The overreaction on here 🙄

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        No overreaction. 34 pts lost due to this blunder.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          And 30pts is a season killer

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I didn't do Cancelo to James.

      I did Dalot to James instead!

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Covid random lotto was the season killer

    4. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes it was at least for me...all main competitors got him and few captained

  7. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    MU so much better in attack wo CR

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Is that not obvious for a while?

  8. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

  11. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Huge goal for Cancelo sellers

  12. Bishopool

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

  16. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ronaldo will be a big miss for UCL but United play better without him in PL

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Modern football thrives in the CL too. They don’t need Ronaldo (and aren’t good enough for the CL anyway).

  17. g40steve

    KDB 2

  18. Rainer

    KDB double

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

  28. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years

    1. FPL Insanity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Was just gonna say that. If he’d scored he’d have wanted the water bottles by the goal!

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

  30. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    What a save that was. Maguire is a joke just get lost ffs.

    Kdb owner here, almost reluctantly have to sell for Salah next gw.

    1. FPL Insanity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Think KDB was right place right time. Foden on the other hand looks awesome. Should have had pen plus a goal
