After a mixed bag of Fantasy Premier League points returns in the 3pm kick-offs, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet in the eighth and final Double Gameweek 26 match of the day.

The action at the Etihad gets underway at 17:30 GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes from the team that thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the Champions League in midweek.

Kyle Walker, who was suspended for the tie in Portugal, returns at right-back, with John Stones dropping to the bench.

Ilkay Gundogan is recalled at the expense of the in-form Riyad Mahrez, meanwhile, which will necessitate a bit of a reshuffle in midfield and one of Bernardo Silva or Kevin De Bruyne playing further forward.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte makes four changes from the side that lost to Wolves last weekend, with Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski handed his first start for the club.

Eric Dier and Emerson Royal are back in defence and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returns in midfield, while Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Harry Winks and Lucas Moura drop to the bench.

Sergio Reguilon confirmed on social media ahead of kick-off that he has Covid-19, so he sits out this game.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He's honestly looked superb of late

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

  11. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Annoyed I missed the game but delighted I went for Kane when so many were getting rid, TC might be a consideration in a few weeks

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Well played

  12. ManofKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What happened to wake Spurs up? They've been pretty awful of late...

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Kane playing for a move at the end of the season.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs love counter-attacking. They can't do that against Wolves.

  13. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Think Pool will go full strength vs Leeds?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I would put money on it.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Defensively yeah, but I reckon one of Salah/Mane miss out.

      1. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        no way imo

      2. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I think both start, but will get some rest after 70 min.

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Have to. Firmino & Jota probably out, can't be farting about with Origi or Ox now title race is back on.

  14. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    The HurriKane has returned.

    1. Miniboss
      • 7 Years

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      To be fair, you say that every week 😉

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        And this was the best one for it to come true!

  15. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Not got Kane or son but 7m in the bank at least! Fair play to those who doubled up

  16. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Ladies and gents - we have a title race

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

  17. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Kulusevski is quality. He should start every game for the rest of the season.

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Two points between Cancelo & Bowen

    Hehehehe

  19. OverTinker
    • 7 Years

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
