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

    Kepa -> Ederson before Citys first dgw will probably be included in my top 5 worst ever transfers.

    Kane will probably finish on 3 BPS once the the winning goal points are added, right?

      Guess for a reliable way into a good defence?

      I’ve been rotating Leno and Sá for the last eight weeks or so and it’s gone pretty well/lucky.

        Waste of funds and low ceiling is the issue imo

          I agree. Also usually takes a slot from a player further up the pitch.

    All the players do it now, if you’re under attack and you get hit in the head just stay down to stop play

    Just another part of the game now like diving and players swarming the referee

      Concussion is serious business so they're right to err on the side of caution. More of a reason to stop to the clock during stoppages in play.
