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

    Gifts from Rodri and Ederson. They should retire.

    Cancelo > [Any City defender] for a minus 4, a bust. Love to see it!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what you did with the cash

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Nailed Ederson on 1 point in a DGW, love to see it

      Well in most cases it led to an upgrade elsewhere like Kane so not really

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    Hahahahah who ask u bench kdb for this game!

  4. MADCHESTER UTD
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else think ake isn’t very good? Never rated him at Chelsea or Bournemouth and was surprised city got him. They miss Dias and laporte

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

      Got Dias on the bench who was brilliant last season, but Peps decided he's not playing anymore

      1. MADCHESTER UTD
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pep always does it; one season laporte is his main man then he’s bombed out following season. Then cancelo is his boy and was brilliant last season then he’s different player this season. It’s almost as if pep thinks start of season “ake Akanji are my guys all season. Then next season it’s stones Dias”

  20. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Updated WC after some advice. Any further recommendations on this?

    Ederson Sanchez
    Robertson Trippier Shaw White Lewis
    Bruno Rashford Odegaard Martinelli Mitoma
    Haaland Kane Toney

    0.7M

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Drop the city players

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ederson is nailed, Lewis is cheap.
        City have another double GW23.
        Still think I should drop both? then who do I get instead?

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haaland OUT

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

  22. JT11fc
    • 7 Years

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Given

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on ownership in Towers

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Simple really, was he shooting or crossing it?

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Crossing to no one

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Are you watching the game?

          1. JT11fc
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yup

          2. JT11fc
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

  23. white91
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gambled big on this DGW and it’s backfired spectacularly

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

      Didn't buy into this one or the last one, and it hasn't gone much better.

  24. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well we can expect KDB to come on at start of 2nd half

  25. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ederson’s main weakness is 1on1s…comes off his line too quickly when he doesn’t need to. Bruno goal and first goal tonight

    1. Total Slotball
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes you’re right. The best gk analysis account on Twitter said it 2 yes ago

  26. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal have no challengers left. The title is theirs!

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

      I dunno. Arteta has a Keegan-style meltdown in him.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brighton at this rate

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nerves could kick in, inexperienced group of players

  27. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pep hahaha!

  28. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guardiola without Liverpool breathing down his neck turns into Brendan Rodgers

  29. Maxroma22
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What is the bald genius doing leaving his most creative player on the bench, knowing Spurs will defend with 11 men....

  30. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Buckle up, going to be spectacular second half
