The Sunday 4.30pm GMT kick-off sees Tottenham Hotspur host champions Manchester City in north London.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) news is that Kevin De Bruyne starts on the bench again for tactical reasons, having also missed the reverse fixture at the Etihad in Double Gameweek 20.

Aymeric Laporte and Ilkay Gundogan are substitutes, while John Stones is absent from the matchday squad through injury. City are also without Phil Foden again.

“He was there at the hotel. He felt unwell all night – really, really bad.” – Pep Guardiola on Phil Foden

Kyle Walker, Nathan Ake, Bernardo Silva and Julian Alvarez all come into the starting XI.

Spurs, meanwhile, are unchanged from Gameweek 21, with new signing Pedro Porro on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Porro, Skipp, Sanchez, Richarlison, Danjuma, Sessegnon, Forster, Lenglet, Bissouma

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis, Rodri, Mahrez, Bernardo, Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland

Subs: Perrone, Dias, Phillips, Gundogan, Laporte, De Bruyne, Ortega, Gomez, Palmer

Kane needs a few more goals if all the goals he swore on a loved one's life are chalked off.

Well done Rico Lewis, welcome to the big games.

No doubt Pep will come out with some weird passive-aggressive praise for you.

So looks like shifting KDB to fund Bruno rather than losing Kane was the right way to go. At least at this stage.

Without Haaland Kane would be captained every week except for dgw/blanks. Guy has been flying all season, budget is no issue and still people are getting rid.

  Okay, Rashford is up there at the moment but otherwise Kane would be and would have been the top pick all season.

  This is what I've been saying when people were talking about shipping him. Only reason he isn't at Haaland levels of ownership is that the Norwegian himself is going there bit further
