After a mixed bag of Fantasy Premier League points returns in the 3pm kick-offs, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet in the eighth and final Double Gameweek 26 match of the day.

The action at the Etihad gets underway at 17:30 GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes from the team that thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the Champions League in midweek.

Kyle Walker, who was suspended for the tie in Portugal, returns at right-back, with John Stones dropping to the bench.

Ilkay Gundogan is recalled at the expense of the in-form Riyad Mahrez, meanwhile, which will necessitate a bit of a reshuffle in midfield and one of Bernardo Silva or Kevin De Bruyne playing further forward.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte makes four changes from the side that lost to Wolves last weekend, with Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski handed his first start for the club.

Eric Dier and Emerson Royal are back in defence and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returns in midfield, while Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Harry Winks and Lucas Moura drop to the bench.

Sergio Reguilon confirmed on social media ahead of kick-off that he has Covid-19, so he sits out this game.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

      Sometimes they go your way, the first 2 could easily work out the same points by the end of the game week to be fair

    Dyche on injuries
    Expects Max Cornet to be okay and Wout Weghorst, wearing an ice pack after the game, is okay.

    JBG has picked up an injury and Matej Vydra remains sidelined but Charlie Taylor has a chance for Wednesday or if not then Palace next weekend.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t do this to yourself. Think about all the players you didn’t bring in that have blanked this GW.

  16. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

  17. Old Wulfrunian

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Pros who removed Cancelo and Bowen on WC. That's why they are the pros.

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I never know if comments like this are genuine or not

    2. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I removed both on WC but still non WC team would have done better with Livra, Dennis and Salah TC. Different ways to get points in this game

  19. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Cancelo and Digne benching justified so far

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone but Son!!!!!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Lol get out, you’ve had your luck today

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah! Plus his Saints won. Everything is coming up Super Saints lol!!

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Rival still outscoring me and has Son!!!!

  21. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Great work from Kane

  22. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Transferred Son in (-4) for Bruno. Started Cancelo and Laporte though...

  23. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Can't really complain about this FH. Only problem was Firmino > Mané

    Pope (7)
    VVD (2) - Gabriel (1) - Saiss (?)
    Salah(20) - Son (4 and counting) Saka (10) - Sarr (6)
    Firmino (buuuh) - Laca (5) - Jimenez (?)

    Zaha first on bench

  24. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    That ball from Kane for the goal, absolutely insane

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Best passer of the ball in the league

      Convince me otherwise

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I won’t

      2. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        KDB says hi.

        Take your point though, he's incredible

  25. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    So dennis is out for a while?

  26. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Kane should've gotten some points for that ffs 😛

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He really should have done - will be worth about 5-10 BPS I’d have thought at least

  27. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Love the selflessness of Son there. Easy goal. Great player. I do not own him.

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Wrong decision I think, if it wasn’t for the nuts the route to goal was covered but hey it was a goal

  28. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Son is shining

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Kane De Bruyne!

  30. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Love it Sonny. I know Saka scored today, but preferred Son over the next few.
