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

    That linesman with balls of steel

    That is all i need to see he must be brought

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's been on the tip of his toes the whole time he's been on... like Lampard when he went on that goalscoring run. The only question mark is he's not nailed on there's plenty of other options that are firing

    Oh.. OFF SIDE

    If assisting the assister gave points then I would be leading OR.

    Ref's a cheater - should have let that stand given they screwed up the penalty.

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not if it was offside

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Even things out - this ref will get a fat pay check for being rubbish.

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          If only that was how the sport worked

  9. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I didn't think that was offside in Manchester?

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Offside rule only counts on one side of Menchester it seems

  10. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Stones on instead of Clichy

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone tempted to get KDB in for these absolute plum fixtures coming up?

  12. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    WOW what an impact from Jesus

  13. Mark-O
    • 10 Years

  14. HurriKane

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Been begging for this substitution all game

  15. Mílanista

    Stones on to get a winner for Spurs.

  16. KingNidge

    Normally i would lol but i can't take any pleasure knowing there are referees out there at the top level making decisions like that one today

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      GJesus against Swansea anyone?

  17. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wow Jesuss

  18. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Feel sorry for the kid

  19. Mickey Tyrion™

    Sterling gone forever..

  20. alangreat
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Advice needed - which mid is the best for the coming 4-6 GWs?

    A. Iwobi (good fixture but if Walcott comes back he may lose his place?)
    B. Chadli (Wbo good fixture and Chadli seems to be on pens even if Rondon is on pitch, differential)
    C. Philips (good fixture, set pieces, consistent)
    D. Mirallas (eye for goal, but Everton unstable)

    Would owning Sanchez and Lukaku affect your choice above?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      E - Jesus!

      1. alangreat
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        not a mid and he's 9.0 🙁

  21. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pep realized Jesus is too good for Spurs, bringing Stones on.

  22. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Stones over Nolito

    Well well well

  23. jmcclory123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wow this guy is good

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Worry owning Kun with this kid!

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He will spark Kun instead of choke him like Raheem today

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Agree

    Wilshere Knowledge. Why you so salty?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I hate Spurs so much. 😆

    2. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Well he is correct

  26. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure why Sterling is more at risk from Jesus than Kun on today's evidence

    1. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Because one is Kun Aguero, and the other is Rahim Sterling.

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        But Sterling, despite his pony finishing, had a much better game than Kun

      2. v12w12
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

    2. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      if pep messes with kun's game time then city can wave goodbye to him in the summer
