Harry Kane (£11.8m) has made a swift recovery from an ankle injury and starts for Tottenham Hotspur in this afternoon’s EFL Cup final.
The Spurs striker, sold in his droves in Fantasy Premier League this week, leads the line for the Lilywhites but there is no place for Gareth Bale (£9.1m) in Ryan Mason’s starting XI.
Both of these clubs are, of course, without a Premier League fixture in Gameweek 33 as a result of their involvement in this cup tie at Wembley.
They return to FPL duties next weekend with appealing fixtures: Spurs at home to Sheffield United, City away at Crystal Palace.
Seven of the most-sold players of the current Gameweek are from today’s finalists, with Kane suffering more transfers out than any other player.
Other than Kane for Bale, Mason’s only other change to his starting XI sees Harry Winks (£5.1m) brought in from the cold at the expense of Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m).
Pep Guardiola has been busier, making six changes from City’s midweek Premier League win at Aston Villa.
Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) are both fit, the former back in the side and the latter among the substitutes.
Zack Steffen (£4.4m), Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m), Joao Cancelo (£5.9m), Fernandinho (£5.4m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.1m) are the other returnees.
Ederson (£6.1m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.2m), Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m), Rodrigo (£5.3m), Bernardo Silva (£7.4m) are benched, with John Stones (£5.1m) suspended.
Stones will also miss out in Gameweeks 34 and 35.
Manchester City XI: Steffen, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling.
Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon, Højbjerg, Winks, Lo Celso, Lucas Moura, Son, Kane.
