Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester City in the final match of Gameweek 10, with kick-off at Wembley at 20:00 GMT.

There are few major shocks in the respective line-ups, save for perhaps Christian Eriksen‘s (£9.2m) non-inclusion in the Spurs starting XI given that the Dane played 90 minutes of his side’s 2-2 draw with PSV last Wednesday.

Eriksen is joined on the home bench by the fit-again Dele Alli (£8.9m), who hasn’t featured since Gameweek 6.

Mauricio Pochettino has made only one alteration to his side from the team that beat West Ham United, with Mousa Dembele (£4.9m) replacing Harry Winks (£5.5m) in central midfield.

Kieran Trippier (£6.3m), Lucas Moura (£7.2m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m), the only three Spurs players to be owned by more than 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers, all start tonight.

Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his starting XI from the side that hammered Burnley last weekend, with Raheem Sterling (£11.1m) replacing Leroy Sane (£9.2m) on the left flank and Kyle Walker (£6.6m) ousting Vincent Kompany (£5.2m) in defence. John Stones (£5.3m) moves across to centre-half to acommodate Walker’s return at right-back.

Given the length of his lay-off, it is not a huge surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne (£9.8m) only named as a substitute by Guardiola this evening, particularly given the condition of the Wembley pitch following yesterday’s NFL game.

Sergio Aguero (£11.3m), the second-most-popular captaincy choice of Gameweek 10, starts for the tenth league match in a row.

City have recorded five clean sheets on the bounce in the Premier League and their defence has only been breached on one occasion – by Willy Boly’s controversial goal in Gameweek 3 – on the road this season.

Of the four players who scored in this fixture last season, only Sterling starts tonight.

Kane has only one home league goal to his name in 2018/19, despite Spurs facing Cardiff City and Fulham in two of the three Premier League fixtures to be contested at Wembley so far this season.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas, Kane.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Bernardo, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

  13. Sif
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Spur defense quality and threat of the counter reducing Aguero to the Giroud role of dragging them around and creating space for the midfield.

  14. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    This is not an encouraging watch as a Mendy owner. That doesn't look good for Ederson owners either.

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, he's ok.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Or Kun captainers

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Nah, Kun is ok. Just difficult to get through all those Spurs. As long as it stays 1-0 he's likely to stay on.

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mendy's a defensive liability. I do still want him but he can easily be dropped.

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I wouldn't let Mendy have tea with me gran after this

  17. Bada Bing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mendy will be hauled off at halftime, he's been atrocious.

  18. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
