Two of Manchester City's key attackers are among the main captaincy options in Gameweek 37 of Fantasy Premier League.

They are Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) who could each produce huge points at home to Leicester City on Monday night.

Good omens

City beat Leicester 5-1 in this fixture last season, with Aguero scoring four and Sterling also getting on the scoresheet.

And both have delivered devastating hauls in recent matches at the Etihad Stadium.

Over their last five home starts, Sterling has 57 points and Aguero has 53 points.

Sterling's explosiveness may make him a slightly better pick than Aguero.

The midfielder has produced six double-digit returns at home this term, compared with the forward's four.

Home banker

But Eden Hazard (£10.9m) has the potential to outscore both of them.

Hazard goes into Chelsea's home match against Watford as the joint-second highest-scoring player in FPL. 

His 226 points are tied with Sterling and trail only the 249 of Mohamed Salah (£13.3m).

Hazard's form at Stamford Bridge, in particular, has been hugely impressive this season.

He has 63 points in his last six appearances at home, producing double-figures on four occasions.

Hazard also profited from this season's previous meeting with the Hornets. He scored both goals in a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road in Gameweek 19, earning 15 points.

Remember, this week the FPL deadline is at 19:00 BST on Friday, 3 May.

What the experts say

Holly Shand (@FFCommunity_): Aguero has great home form, returning in every home game he has started this season.

Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg): With Aguero getting the winner last time out at Burnley, his "quiet" spell might be over and big points imminent.

Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily): I really fancy Paul Pogba (£8.5m) against Huddersfield Town but his form hasn't been great. Sterling, Aguero, Salah and Sadio Mane (£10.2m) all look good picks because of the must-win nature of their games.

Nick and Tom (@WGTA_FPL): As a non-Aguero owner chasing a higher rank, captaining Sterling makes total sense to me.

Mark McGettigan (@FPLGeneral): I won't be looking past Man City but for those seeking a differential, I like Diogo Jota (£6.3m) at home to Fulham.

Neal Thurman (@nealjthurman):  If you're looking to be different then Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) v Brighton & Hove Albion and Pogba v Huddersfield are the two top choices.
