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

    This has turned into a fantastic GW.

    Son, Kane, Weghorst, Saka, Salah, Pieters all delivering with the BPS.

        Oh Bemba…

    Watch us lose to Burnley and Leeds

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Might still lose here too

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think you'll do fine against Leeds. You seem to do alright against teams you can counter-attack.

      It's chance creation against low blocks that's the problem.

  12. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    At least Burnley will trash this spurs side

  13. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Need Bruno to bang against Leeds now 🙁

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      also how have Cancelo not scored or assisted this game yet... so many chances

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This happens a lot

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Son assists softening the Tark,Reg no shows and Livra lost points

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cmon Kane and Son we want more!!

  16. dabber7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A Spurs win surely = Salah 100% starts against Leeds.

    1. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, even a draw

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would have started anyway.

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yup, he will

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah starts either way

  17. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ref only whistles for ManC. Spurs are fouled frequently but no reaction there.

  18. BeWater
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Some of Kane's passing today has been majestic.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Improved his all-round game a lot recently and much more than just a finisher these days. No wonder City were hell bent to get him.

  19. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If Spurs hold out the title is in Liverpool’s hands

  20. jonnybhoy

  21. fedolefan

  22. BullDogTevez
    • 16 Years
