The stage is set for one of the biggest Premier League matches this weekend as Tottenham hosts Manchester City.
The Premier League match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 5.30 pm.
The last time both teams met in the Premier League was last August at the Etihad Stadium.
Spurs defeated the Cityzens 2-0, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha.
Tottenham currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League table, while Man City are in second position with seven points behind leaders Arsenal.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola will hope to get revenge against Tottenham to help close the points gap on Arsenal.
Guardiola will be without winger Jeremy Doku, who sustained a calf injury against Galatasaray in the Champions League in mid-week.
The Belgium international joins John Stones (thigh), Mateo Kovacic (ankle), Savinho (thigh), Ruben Dias (hamstring), and Josko Gvardiol (leg) on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank will hope to get a league double win against City after beating them in the reverse fixture last year.
Frank will welcome Mathys Tel, Radu Dragusin, Conor Gallagher, and Yves Bissouma in his squad to face Guardiola’s side.
However, he will be without Richarlison (hamstring), Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring), James Maddison (knee), Mohammed Kudus (thigh), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Ben Davies (ankle), Pedro Porro (hamstring), and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) due to injury.
