Line-ups – Man City

Erling Haaland (£12.2m) starts the game. To the dismay of managers, the striker failed to start in Gameweek 15. Many within the community will be resting their captaincy hopes on the forward. Kevin De Bruyne (£12.6m) also starts the game. The Belgian will be hoping to continue his relentless FPL output.

Brentford

Forward Ivan Toney (£7.4m) will be looking to make Gareth Southgate regret his decision to leave him out of the World Cup squad. The striker sits as the third highest scoring player in his position. Midfielder Yoane Wissa (£5.4m) makes the substitute bench after picking up a double-digit haul of 12 points in Gameweek 15.
