Back in the game after another international interval, Saturday presents us with an array of treats that begins at the Etihad. Manchester City host Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side in what looks to be a fascinating encounter, with a gaggle of prime Fantasy assets on show.

Given the doubt surrounding Diego Costa’s availability, suddenly the significance of Sergio Aguero’s pitch time and points increases. The Argentine will doubtless carry the armband for some and, in the main, they’ll be hoping that Spurs can provide opposition that forces Manuel Pellegrini’s men to seek out goals.

Certainly Spurs are set up to trouble the home side, with Pochettino’s high pressing game and emphasis on the counter, potentially exploiting key weaknesses in the City rearguard.

Following this, we have a fresh batch of six three o’clock clashes warming in the oven and you can look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news from those matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  11. Gooner Kebab
    12 years, 16 days ago

    Is anyone transferring Costa out though despite him not on the team bus today?

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      12 years, 16 days ago

      No. Why would you sell the best striker out there just because he doesn't play against a weak team?

  12. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 16 days ago

  13. Demí

    1. Sleep Talk
      12 years, 16 days ago

    2. Venom Snake
