The Londoners are unbeaten in each of their previous three away Premier League outings meaning we’ll have to be at our very best to collect three points this weekend.

And FPL Managers will have an eye on proceedings at the Etihad as they look to raise their points tallies this weekend.

With that in mind, view the latest Scout report below ahead of Saturday 20 December’s 11:00 (UK) deadline.

CITY STAR

Rayan Cherki (£6.5m) is worth considering bringing into Fantasy Premier League (FPL) teams ahead of Manchester City’s home match against West Ham United in Gameweek 17 (GW17).

Cherki registered another assist in City’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in GW16 taking his tally for the season to a league-leading seven. This stat is made more extraordinary for the fact that all of them have come in the last seven gameweeks.

Since GW10 only one midfielder has produced more big chances than Cherki’s five, while in the last five Gameweeks only two have created more chances (13), only one has created a higher percentage of his side’s chances (41%) and only three have completed more dribbles (11).

ONE TO WATCH

Forward Jarrod Bowen (£7.5m) is West Ham’s most in form player with goals in back-to-back matches.

DIFFERENTIALS

Elsewhere, Malo Gusto (£4.9m) and Riccardo Calafiori (£5.7m) are two low-owned gems worth considering this gameweek.

Gusto produced 18 points in GW16 thanks to his second goal in four starts, after having also recorded a double-digit haul in GW11.

Meanwhile, Calafiori could return to the Arsenal defence after serving a one-match ban in GW17. The Gunner has had more shots (22) than any defender this season.
