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.

    With the City clean sheet now locked in, they're just playing the rest of the game to decide the BAPs.

    Form coupled with rotation risk, there isn’t a single City asset that currently appeals.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Are City players suffering from Pep fatigue? He must grate on you after a while.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's his face.

  16. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years

    Worst I've seen City play in the last 3 years.

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

      No fluidity

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe they need 2-3 billion GBP injection to refresh the squad

  17. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

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

      He is OOP when city have possession. Very very central.

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

    City’s performance levels are becoming very flat..

  23. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Second half Spurs to trash city after HT and hand the title race to Arsenal?

  24. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    And I thought the Utd game would be the tough one for Haaland, this is no better so far

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

    Put Kevin on, fraud!

  26. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Honeymoon period over for Haaland.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thought he would be the new Aguero, but there is still time.

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

    Lloris vs Hauland 😀

  28. g40steve
    • 7 Years

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

    2022 Haaland scores that.

  30. Amartey Partey

    Why are city players not getting booked for all these dives they do in the box? It happens in every game.
