TEAM NEWS REACTION: Manchester City

For City, Laporte replaces Ake at the back, while Phil Foden replaces Riyad Mahrez on the right wing.

Both Ake and Mahrez are probably being rested for the midweek Champions League game. Otherwise, it's as you were!

TEAM NEWS REACTION: Nottingham Forest

For Forest, several changes. Injured centre back Willy Boly and Scott McKenna are out for the foreseeable, so Felipe and Joe Worrall come in.

Danilo and Jonjo Shelvey add steel in midfield in place of Gustavo Scarpa and Orel Mangala, with Jack Colback also in for striker Chris Wood.

That will see Colback in central midfield, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson up top.

What's happening in the early kick-off?!

I don't think it's a spoiler to tell you the Premier League title chasers Arsenal are a goal down! 

Bukayo Saka had cancelled out Ollie Watkins' opener but Philippe Coutinho put Unai Emery's side ahead again against the Spanish boss' former side.

A plum occasion for Ake

It's Nathan Ake's birthday today! Can the City defender mark it with a goal and/or clean sheet? 

I certainly hope so, he's in my FPL team. Plenty more FPL chat coming this way for sure.
