Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Spurs

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

    Well last week Alonso sat on my bench (still no idea how that happened). This week isn't going well either.

    Think I'm up to 13 points with 4 left tomorrow. Also Chambers and Pieters on the bench.

      that's why Man City defenders aren't worth having.
      Their overall defensive stats aren't that bad in comparison to many of the top clubs

    Every time Sane plays longer than 60 minutes he has scored this season, bar once. Why doesn't Pep play him more? I'd get him for 7.5. I much prefer him to Sterling. I think the ultimate end goal for Pep's City is Sane, Sterling and Gabriel up front with no real striker - a bit like Liverpool with Lallana, Firmino and Countinho.

        I think he would be stupid to get rid of him but yes, I think Pep will so he can have the team play to his philosophy. You can't pay a player like Aguero that much money and have him sit on the bench. He is too good, even not taking into account the money. I also think Aguero isn't Pep's kind of player. We shall see, I may be wrong.
