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

Subs: Ortega, Laporte, Walker, Phillips, Dias, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

      No one is sang he ins't a great manager. He does the equivalent of showboating to prove how great he is and often comes unstuck. This squad shouldn't be 8 points behind Arsenal.

    This reminds me of a game of fifa I had once years back online. Was playing Someone who I could tell was brilliant early on but somehow I went in 3-0 up with 3 headers from corners. Think it was fifa 14 where every header went in. He then proceeded to destroy me 8-3!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

  24. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So they gave it as a Kane assist and said it was a shot (!!!) but didn’t give Ederson a save. Making it up as they go along.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ah back to this again. The good old days.

    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yes

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

  26. MissouriMarten
    • 10 Years

  27. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Conte clearly had a word with his players at half time
    'what are you doing lads...I can't moan about transfers if you beat City! Stop it as once!'

  28. AIRMILES
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Another goal for Haaland and I won't regret the TC

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Gizzachance

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago
