Team News

Man City
Tottenham
  • Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is without injured trio Kevin De Bruyne, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic.
  • City should go with a three-man backline, with Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Josko Gvardiol and Nathan Ake battling it out to flank Ruben Dias.
  • Yves Bissouma returns for Tottenham, which is just as well as they have lost Rodrigo Bentancur to injury until the New Year.
  • The Uruguayan joins a lengthy absentee list, which includes Micky van de Ven, James Maddison and Cristian Romero, though the latter serves the third of a three-match ban.
  • Ange Postecoglou could make just one change to the XI that start against Aston Villa last week.

Prediction

  • Manchester City were held to a second successive league draw against Liverpool last weekend but bounced back with a 3-2 win over RB Leipzig in midweek. Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten at home this season, failing to win just once.
  • Tottenham lost for the third league game running at Aston Villa's expense last time out and their fixture list doesn't let up when they take on Manchester City. Despite a lengthy absentee list, Spurs are still capable of hitting the back of the net.
  • Should Ange Postecoglou go with the high defensive line against Manchester City, then Spurs may be in for a rough afternoon. They'll fancy their chances of scoring, but City should have more than enough to secure all the spoils.
