Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Spurs

Saturday’s events end with the headline act, as leaders Manchester City host Spurs at the Etihad Stadium.

The big team news is undoubtedly the omission of David Silva, reportedly due to “personal reasons”. We have no further explanation as yet for a player who was the most signed ahead of Gameweek 18, with over 278,000 drafting him in.

Silva had returned four goals from his previous four Gameweeks and his absence will be felt by City, with İlkay Gündogan coming in to replace the Spaniard.

For Spurs, Dele Alli returns to the starting line-up as expected, though Danny Rose plays back-to-back league matches for the first time this season, with Ben Davies kept on the bench. Kieran Trippier returns at right-back.

Intriguingly, two of the most sold players this week – Leroy Sane (sold by 166,000) and Harry Kane (sold by 135,000) – are in opposition and will be under scrutiny.

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

    Hazard & Joe Gomez > Sterling & Alonso for a hit. Worth it?

    Is Foster + Moreno > DDG + Otamendi for -4 worth it despite them being defensive transfers?

    Sterling to Pogba a few weeks back was a dire mistake. Anyway, should I now do Ramsey to Pogba or to Sterling? Pogba more nailed but Sterling has form.
