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

    Not been here for 10 mins. How many 'Jesus essential' posts have there been?

    Also, Lukaku to Jesus? Haha

      Just a young guy giving his all for the win. Not necessarily Nailed.

    This assistant is a Spurs fan - what a cheat.

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

      For two correct offside decisions?

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

        For not giving obvious penalties

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

    Aguero had a shot. At least he's not forgotten to hit the target from all that passing.

  5. Bubz

    Is Jesus nailed on?

  6. saint4life
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus nailed for next week?

  7. itwaswritten

    Agüero > Jesus done!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You kidding?

  8. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Strongly considering Lukaku>Jesus

      Kuttheman I'm considering the same move myself.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same. I got Lukaku knowing I could do a straight swap for Giroud or Jesus. Wait for more evidence though, e.g. a Jesus start

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    The next Brazilian Ronaldo

      • 9 Years

    2. A.J.

    4. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good cross Jesus

    5. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yours is the third so far.

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He might not start, but he's good value. Always look on the bright side of life

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

    Lol Delph is getting ready

  15. Toby Lerone
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Grant
    Holebas yoshida alonso
    Phillips stanislas hazard eriksen sanchez
    Kun ibra

    14 points. Dire

  16. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So, Jesus likely to be brought in to the first team for Aguero or Sterling?

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

      Sterling for sure, he was terrible today

    2. saint4life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hmmm replace the best striker in the premier league the last 3years or Raheem sterling...........lol

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Errr Hart to Bravo

  17. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    fabian delph the snake is alive

  18. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Drop Sterling for Jesus and that should be the line up for every game

  19. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walker on 6 points. Really should have been 1!

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Should have gotten a red for the push on Sterling, but my rival has Walker so he'll get the 2 bonus.

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

      -1*

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

    Delph for Silva. Guardiola being clever wasting the time on subs.

  21. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I would've liked to see the stats for games involving the top 6, ending 0-0 or 2-2. Feels like it's over 50 %.

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

    Surely people will realize that buying another Jesus will not solve City's problems. They already have one in Navas.

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe try a Muhammed for a change?

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No, he's a red card magnet. Stick to Jesuses.

  23. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    KDB best player in the league when he's like this?

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

      Nah.

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

        Don't forget the The Gateshead Wonder.

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

      Not anymore

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, Moreno.

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

      Want to get him in for the next few fixtures. Think City will be more aggressive with them being wounded Tigers.

  24. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    NBCSN live stream can suck it

  25. mad_beer ✅

  26. NATSTER
    • 15 Years

    C'mon Eriksen or Walker .. a winning goal please.

  27. Rainer

    Jesus gone quiet after his initial act

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    Walker cheating again - faking cramp

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

    Hardly sympathetic for Walker
