There’s one more Double Gameweek 20 match to go and it’s a big one.

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur is the fixture in question, with kick-off at the Etihad Stadium set for 20:00 GMT.

Four Man City assets boast double-digit ownerships in the top 10k, but two of them aren’t part of Pep Guardiola’s starting XI tonight. It’s Ederson and the heavily captained Erling Haaland who get the nod, with Joao Cancelo and Kevin De Bruyne on the bench.

Guardiola makes five changes overall from Saturday’s defeat at Old Trafford: Kyle Walker, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden are replaced by John Stones, Rico Lewis, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez.

Antonio Conte, meanwhile, makes four alterations after losing 2-0 at home to Arsenal, with Ben Davies, Emerson Royal, Ivan Perisic and Rodrigo Bentancur coming in for Clement Lenglet, Matt Doherty, Ryan Sessegnon and Pape Sarr.

Harry Kane – who has scored three of his four goals against Man City in all competitions at the Etihad – leads the line, flanked by Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min.

GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, Grealish, Mahrez, Alvarez, Haaland

    If Arsenal don't win the league this year then they'll never win it again

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm still sceptical they qualify for the Champions League

        Oh come on

    Spurs are the strangest team. I can never work them out. They seem to look so poor for majority of most games I watch but somehow they so often seem to find a way to score goals.

    Cant make my mind up if Pep looks shot or cross.

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Funny af lol
      Cross though!

  5. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How can anyone seriously believe that was a cross? He absolutely smashed it and there was literally nobody there to be the intended target. 😆

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane also hasn’t passed in the box for about 5 seasons.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, this

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Non owners with clouded judgment and a mouthful of salt.

    3. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Correct, everyone should own him with cash to spare

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly.

    5. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We can agree it wasn't a shot, so what else is it other than a cross? The intended target doesn't need to be a teammate

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Well I don’t agree that it wasn’t a shot, it was just off target.

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It wasn't even aimed at goal. I'm an owner, so my judgement isn't clouded.

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe he was channelling his inner Geoff Thomas.

          2. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It was literally going away from goal in a backwards direction. Striker of Kanes quality doesn’t do that when shooting from 5yards

      2. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I dont think we can agree that it wasnt a shot Granville

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Clutching...

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Clutching at what. I have the points, I'm a Kane owner.

      4. MissouriMarten
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Who is we? Plenty who clearly don't agree.

    6. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Including the goal

    7. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The intended target was likely the defenders running back towards the goal hoping for a lucky deflection

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        ^talks the truth

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

  8. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Funny playing with two strikers and dropping the main player to pass them

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Crazy, KDB should always be first name on sheet

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    All this faff for 3 measly points. Can tell it's been a s*** gameweek.

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

      Seen plenty of arguments on here over 1 point to be fair!!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha yeah. Think we all need to get a grip.

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Imagine the scenes when Haaland doesn't even get golden boot

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gnonto’s for the taking!

  11. Forgetmeknot
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    As a cancelo, KBD & Doherty owner plus Haaland TC’er this is a painful watch

    1. Monklane
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  12. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldinho vs Seaman, cross or shot?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeper fail

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lol love this. What’s a totally different type of goal from 21 years ago got to do with it

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nothing. Just reminiscing.

    3. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      3/4 on here would of been sperms still

      1. Biggsy

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        C'mom - you definitely missed a Seaman/Semen pun there

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane officially gets the assist LOL

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      SCOUT: After review, the assist for Tottenham’s 2nd goal is awarded to Harry Kane. His shot rebounded to goalscorer Emerson Royal

    Bergkamp goal against Newcastle. Amazing bit of skill or poor first touch and great recovery?

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

      Horrific defending.

      1. Hairy Potter

  21. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pep’s lame stubbornness to make changes when it’s clearly what is needed because the players who got the team into this mess must get them out of it. Sigh…

  22. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pep should grow his remaining hair long, then style it in the fashion of Crusty the Clown.

  23. TomSaints
