Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Spurs

2,558 Comments
Share

Saturday treats us to one final fixture as Man City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the Etihad in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men arrive on the back of six straight wins and with the schedule turning in their favour from next weekend, this evening’s match affords us the chance to get in some early scouting.

Harry Kane earned more transfers in than any player ahead of Gameweek 22 after netting six times in the last four fixtures, yet the Spurs midfield offers equally enticing options.

Christian Eriksen has served up six double-figure hauls in nine, whilst seven goals and an assist in the last five from Dele Alli has seen him match the Dane’s tally of 121 FPL points so far.

A single goal in four underlines Sergio Aguero’s recent toils up top, though with West Ham, Swansea and Bournemouth to follow, the City striker cannot be overlooked.

All eyes are on Gabriel Jesus, though the new boy only makes the bench as Pep Guardiola looks to ease him into his new surrounds after arriving from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Third striker has been such a shocker for so long; Rashford, Austin, iheanacho, llorente, rondon.

        Removing Kun as a straight swap doesn't make sense. Better off doing two at once and upgrading the midfield with the spare cash too. In any case, the fourth fixture for both Ibra and Kun will almost certainly be a blank. That means A.

        Trying to justify selling Kun and would be interested in views on it.

                See how the ground lies come the deadline - plenty of cup football to be played before then.
                You could easily be transfering an injured player or have much more pressing issues by then.
