sunday-2-october-tottenham-vs-man-city
It’s first versus second in the Premier League on Sunday, when league leaders Manchester City travel to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham.

Pep Guardiola’s winning streak came to an end at Celtic in midweek, with the 3-3 draw and he’ll be hoping that his side bounce back.

Spurs are also yet to lose in the league, but their performances haven’t been as eye-catching as their opponents on Sunday.

Team News

Spurs rested five first team players for their trip to Moscow in midweek and they’ll all be expected to return this weekend. There’s no Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko might miss out due to a concussion. Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele and Danny Rose all have a chance of starting on Sunday.

City will be without key man Kevin De Bruyne this weekend, whilst Vincent Kompany is still injured. Fabian Delph might make the bench after recovering from injury. Nolito is serving the final game of this three-match ban and Yaya Toure has been suspended by the club.
