Manchester City will confront high flyer Tottenham.


Tottenham travel to Manchester City on Saturday aiming to secure a seventh consecutive Premier League victory.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have found their stride in recent weeks and appear to be primed to fight for the title during the second half of the season.
Pep Guardiola's men, meanwhile, are struggling to live up to their hype. City spent big in the summer but are in danger of slipping out of the top four after losing 4-0 at Everton last weekend.
Spurs will be keen to lay down a marker against another direct rival and, having beaten City at home earlier in the season, will be brimming with confidence following the release of plans of their new stadium.

Erik Lamela is ruled out as the Argentine winger still struggling to shake off a hip problem, with Pochettino "worried and concerned" at the lack of progress.
Jan Vertonghen is also out after damaging his ankle in the victory over West Brom, but Pochettino has offered a "very positive" assessment as the problem looks set to keep the defender out for six weeks - less than Spurs initially feared.
Ben Davies and Kevin Wimmer are vying for an opportunity to replace Vertonghen in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Pochettino is unlikely to make significant changes given how well his side have played in recent weeks.

The same cannot be said for Guardiola, whose title aspirations are hanging in the balance.
Sergio Aguero will lead the line but defence is City's main problem. Both Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones need to improve if they are to stop Harry Kane.
New City signing Gabriel Jesus says he is not scared of a potential debut against Spurs after being cleared to play for Guardiola's side.



POSSIBLE STARTING LINE-UPS
Manchester City XI: Bravo; Sagna, Otamendi, Stones, Clichy; Toure, Zabaleta; Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne; Aguero.
Tottenham XI: Lloris; Dier, Alderweireld, Davies; Walker, Wanyama, Dembele, Rose; Eriksen, Alli; Kane.

Give me a comprehensive reason why i should greet him for you when you want his team to loss.

Lalasticlala it will be a great joy for this thread to hit front page. This match is really important please

lalasticlala mukina2 doesn't this thread deserve front page for everyone to follow it up.

Why is the match not on FP yet? We need to change this sports section moderator. 30mins to the start of Arsenal's match, it is already on FP. Yet a top match like this is not getting the publicity it needs.

Well, it is City 2: Tot. 1

Lloris is going to have nightmares about etihad. He has conceded 6, 4 and 2 in his last three matches here

Well, as a Chelsea supporter, a win for city will better for me.

Even bench Iheanacho no see. With Jesus now in city and Leroy Sane playing this good, dunno how many more EPL matches he will play this season.

2-1 to Noisy neighbours.
Why moderators did not push this hot match to normal place
