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

    Pretty sure half this people in here have considered mahrez but no he was a pep roulette away from getting 0 in both games

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would have taken a chance on him if I didnt already own KDB. Wasnt about to triple up on that attack.

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i got him instead of KDB! took the risk & paid off

      1. Indpush
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I moved KDB out for Mahrez and Kane.

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

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

    KDB gonna struggle to get back into the side even with full rest tonight

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

      Think there could be an issue if he's not getting on here.

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d love KDB to get the Foden treatment but a dream is all alas …

    6. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Eh?

      Personal problems this week. Not unusual to see a player rested when they miss training. Also Pep.

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

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

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

    What is the point of Spurs, such a negative, defensive system with formation and personnel but they have more leaks than a Russian sub.

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

      They exist for our amusement

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

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

      Spent more time worrying if he'd start, then get both games in double, 1+1
      Not worth it

  18. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago
