Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes at the Etihad this afternoon, as Manchester City host Liverpool in a mouthwatering clash at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola makes three changes from Tuesday’s Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.

Kyle Walker replaces Nathan Ake at the back, while further forward, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden start alongside Raheem Sterling, with Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez dropping to the bench.

Ruben Dias and Cole Palmer remain sidelined by injuries.

As for the visitors, Diogo Jota leads the line as Luis Diaz drops out.

Elsewhere, Joel Matip starts ahead of Ibrahima Konate and Jordan Henderson replaces Naby Keita.

The Reds are targeting an 11th straight league win, and victory would take them above City in the table.

    I went with Iheanacho as a punt this week, as I thought he had secured his spot over Daka at this point.

    Pep Rodgers has made this move a tricky one, should I play him next week as he has a double?

    Kane Ronaldo

    Cheap d w Newcastle

    Not enough doubles in attack? Only really missing Cancelo on d, so not too concerned there.

    Could do with some opinions/thoughts please. I dropped from 16,711 this week to 22,796 with a weak 55 score.

    Schmeichel*
    Trent, Robbo, James, Rudi, Doherty
    Salah, Maddi*, Saka*, Bowen
    Kane (c)

    Foster, Broja, Ramsey^, Gelhardt^

    * = DGW
    ^ = BGW
    1FT & 0.9M ITB.

    Current team means only Broja & Bowen don't have a DGW in 36 which is when I plan on dropping the BB!
    If CHE get eliminated from UCL this week I'm tempted to do James > Cancelo as I've regretted losing him (he funded Kane) but means I lose a fixture too otherwise I have no immediate plans and I'm tempted to roll the FT.

      I'd keep James and move Rudi to Cancelo if you want to get him back in
