* Forwards: Keep an eye on Erling Haaland; he scores as if it were his job (because it is!). If this man is on your FPL side, get ready for some points!
* Midfielders: De Bruyne is a ball genius. He will pass, create chances, and score. Very valid choices for your Fantasy Premier League team.

* Manchester United:
* Forwards: Rashford is swift and sturdy. If he is in form, he will be a catching option for FPL.
* Midfielders: Bruno will always be in the thick of it; he will score or assist. He is a key cog in their attack.
* Defenders: The United defense may have to be very strong against such an attacking team as City. Choose a defender who gathers lots of tackles and blocks.
