The 16th and final fixture of Double Gameweek 36 takes place this evening – and what a match it is.

It’s not just local bragging rights on the line as Tottenham Hotspur play host to Arsenal but also a UEFA Champions League qualifying spot.

An Arsenal win secures at least fourth place for the Gunners, while a draw leaves them firmly in the driving seat. A Spurs victory, however, not only keeps things interesting between the two rivals but also means that Chelsea have to tentatively peer over their shoulders.

Kick-off in the north London derby is at 19:45 BST.

The team news is nice and simple from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as there is just one change across the two sides, and it’s an enforced one at that.

Davinson Sanchez comes into the starting XI for the hosts as the injured Cristian Romero misses out.

“In the game against Liverpool he received a hit on his hip. After the game he had pain and is not right to recover.” – Antonio Conte on Cristian Romero

The fact that Arsenal are unchanged means that Bukayo Saka, absent from training ground images on Wednesday and listed as a doubt by his manager, is fit enough to start.

Ben White has also shaken off a hamstring injury but is only on the bench.

Saka is the most-owned player in this fixture, both overall and within the top 10k.

A closer look at the leading 10,000 managers above (via LiveFPL) shows that interest extends beyond the Arsenal winger, with Son Heung-min and Eddie Nketiah both sitting in more than 50% of these teams.

Little more than 2% of Gameweek 36 captains are still to play in this fixture, however.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Winks, Rodon, Gollini, Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, White, Scarlett, Devine, Craig.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, Holding, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Subs: Leno, White, Lacazette, Smith Rowe, Pepe, Tavares, Sambi Lokonga, Swanson, Patino.

    That is the softest pen I've ever seen. Unbelievable.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Bernardo's vs Arsenal was hilarious.

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

      Daft by Cedric.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years

      Ref is a Tavares owner

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No attempt whatsoever to play the ball. Obvious pen.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This ref didn't give one for Jota being shoved in the back earlier in season. Think may have been against Spurs.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That doesn't make this one not a pen.

    My GW slides further down the toilet. Really needed a Ramsdale pen save there

  15. Steve The Spud

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That looked like a very soft penalty

  18. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anything on Regulion, will he play again this season? I like the look of Sess.

  19. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years

  20. BrockLanders

    Typical lucky Son owners. Didn't even touch the ball.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      These things happen sometimes 🙂

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A quality assist by a quality player.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This.
        Non-owner.

  21. sminkypinky

    I guess transfering Kane out to accomodate and captain Kdb is still considered the right move. We’ll see in about an hour if it still holds up.
    As a Ramsdale owner I feel like I got what I deserve.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have Salah?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, should have taken -4 to get rid of him 🙁

  22. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If i could trade the Son assist for an Arsenal goal by a player i don't own, i would.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Too late, you revealed your true colours.

      Tottenham in disguise??

  23. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Couple of goals from Kane, or more, can make up for KDB in my BB team this week.. Fingers crossed!

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Harry in the mood!

  25. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    White would have played if not for that stupid Holding goal gddmit

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Holding is mad for Son tonight, we should see White at least.

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'll take the 1 point

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

  27. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

  29. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    After yesterday I feel I have become far too greedy. Hoping for a monster haul from Son, Kane, Saka and Ramsdale 😉
