Mauricio Pochettino has pulled the rug from under our feet yet again with a surprise line-up to face Manchester City today.

Both Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) and Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) are absent from the matchday squad.

According to the manager, the French goalkeeper has picked up a small problem ahead of this match, so Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) is in goal for Spurs.

“He suffered some small problem, muscle problem, but hopefully it’s not a big issue and he’ll be ready for Tuesday.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Meanwhile, there are four centre-backs and one full-back named in the side.

It looks like Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m), Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) and Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) are the back-three, with Ben Davies (£5.6m) and Juan Foyth (£5.0m) on the left and right flanks respectively.

There is better news further up the pitch for Fantasy managers with Son Heung-min (£8.8m) lining up as a centre-forward alongside Lucas Moura (£6.8m), while Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) starts in central midfield.

On the bench for Spurs is Fernando Llorente (£5.1m) and forgotten man Vinent Janssen.

Manchester City’s starting XI is more straight forward, with Sergio Aguero (£11.7m), Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) all in the side.

Phil Foden (£4.5m) makes just his second Premier League start of the campaign in midfield.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Foden, De Bruyne, B. Silva, Sterling, Aguero.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Alli, Eriksen, Moura, Son.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Very much doubt it.

      2. The 5% Team
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

  16. Majestic Chanka

      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I haven't owned him all season. There are so many City players to choose from so to avoid the risk of an injury prone one is easy.

  17. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of Kun 3 bonus?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      None

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Almost impossible.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero always limps off. It would be more strange for him to jog off.
