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

        It was 100%

        I paused it and drew a line

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Easy off

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Kane should have passed to Sonny boy

  9. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Kane -bps

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Why?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Offside is a deduction

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

          he wasnt offside, it was kulu

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Ah my bad!

        2. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I didn’t think the offside was against him though

  13. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    The best I have seen Kane play in over a year! All round play, not just goals.

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

    What??

    They’re blind oh my god

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      not biased here

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Blind? He’s clearly off

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

        Dias played him onside, I even drew a thin line on my 80”

        No wonder they didn’t show the VAR lines

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

    Love VAR

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Feck Var

  17. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    That’s not
    Offside

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

    FK

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Can’t stand carragher

    For that reason glad it was ruled out

  20. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    That was clearly offside

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

    How many times Kane has been ripped off this season, unreal

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It was offside! Blimey.

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

        Ah bloody hell just give him it anyway 🙂

  22. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Kane could have a hattrick 🙁

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

    This is going to end in a draw with a Spurs OG and a Cancelo assist

  24. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    That second Kane goal would have saved my gameweek, but it wasn't to be.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Shame he missed the easy chance

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      City will press more in the last 10 minutes now. A couple more chances on the break still awaits.

  25. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    As an owner of double Liverpool def, Bowen, Trossard, Tarkowski, Cornet, King, Cancelo and Ramsdale that Kane brace actually cheered me up. Oh wait.

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

    Fair play to those brave enough to start both of them away to City. It's gonna hurt as someone who chose to ignore Spurs.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Dead teams

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

      No brainer in a double!

  27. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I sometimes wonder about people on here when a goal is clearly offside

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

    If Son doesn't get subbed, this has Son counter-attack goal written all over it.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He likes scoring vs Man Citeh

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Subbed

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

    That line is bent

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Who needs a line? Its clear as day.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        As a Liverpool fan who wants Spurs to win.

    This season still shaping up to be an interesting title/top 4 race and relegation battle. Watford and Burnley putting pressure on Everton…
