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

    Never a pen

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

      This, if that's a pen. Then MU should have gotten one yesterday, just as cheap.

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

        As cheap? Clear pen yesterday to be fair

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

          Oh I think so as well tbh. Just saging.

      2. SkyByBo
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        MU pen yesterday was stonewall

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bit soft but sadly seen them given

  2. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Only positive perhaps is kdb + cancelo will start wolves ...'surely'

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And they’ll probably lose 1-0

      1. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha probably

    2. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kdb will, pep hates cancelo

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wolves a good game for KDB but surely Mahrez starts?!

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

        Don't go there

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Missing training, not even a sub appearance... you have to worry that Pep's not been transparent about the KDB issue.

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

        On the bench, can't be that bad

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe. Just think the theory that he 'surely' returns, assuming he's rested/rotated tonight, might be missing something

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

    Walker coming on

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

    Wrong Manchester stadium.

  5. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Conte should just play 4231 with Richarlison. Seeing Spurs play is so boring.

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

      Nah prefers losing then moaning about it, brings the big pay off quicker

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Always thought he made a lot of excuses but after seeing him lose a lot of friends, I'll allow it

  6. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Haaland going down all the time today.

  7. RamboRN

    Kepa
    Trippier shaw cancelo
    Kdb martineli rashford almiron
    Haaland kane martial

    Ward white andreas Patterson

    1ft 1.3m itb. Any thoughts? Thinking martial and cancelo to toney + Newcastle defender for -4 Sound good?

  8. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland no longer essential….

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

      Sell him, I dare you.

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

      Just wait

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm keeping all season unless injured

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

    Lots of niggling problems with my team now.

    Ward/Ederson combo looking vulnerable
    I want Odegard for Martinelli
    Mitoma for Eriksen
    Toney for Mitro
    KDB looking a poor pick.

    Not sure whether it justifies a wildcard.

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Underwhelming for Haaland cappers

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

      Just wait

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

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

      Haaland cappers happy it's only 8 tbf.

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

      Everyone is a Haaland captainer. It's just the TCs

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

        I captained Rashford. I'm happy

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  11. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dani Ceballos changing the entire game and helping Real Madrid comeback from 2-0 down to 3-2 against Villarreal.

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

      % ownership on Ceballos?

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

    Don't think I've ever seen such a drop off as Son this season... he's terrible now...so strange

  13. jwong23
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1. jwong23
      • 10 Years
