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

  23. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It was own goal and Mahrez assist. FPL will probably fix it.

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

    Where's your Bruyne at?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kevin De Who?

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

    I'm guessing mixed feelings for Gooners.

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Son is absolutely anonymous in this game.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years

      *this season

  27. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pity Mahrez isn't nailed

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only Ederson and Haaland are

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly

  28. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That's an own goal

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah was on target

  29. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Perisic subbed

  30. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why did I go Foden over Mahrez?!

    Just give me 1 appearance point Pep. You owe us that after the ridiculous 59th min sub last time

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

      Neither are worth owning. You just watch, they'll be a load of transfers in for Mahrez this week and Pep will bench him.

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

        Possibly. But I'm glad I own him this week.

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

          Well done. Take the points and run.

      2. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I agree it was only a punt for this DGW.

      3. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yes i agree, not worth the headaches
