Ange Postecoglou has named his Tottenham Hotspur side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Tottenham make the trip to the home of the current champions in far-from-ideal circumstances with a number of key players unavailable for selection after a horrible spell of injuries has left the Australian unable to call upon Rodrigo Bentancur, Micky van de Ven, Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison, Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon and Ryan Sessegnon among others, while Cristian Romero is still unable to take his place in defence due to suspension.
Yves Bissouma is available for selection after serving his one-match ban against Aston Villa after picking up five Premier League bookings this season.
Tottenham have lost their last three Premier League matches, having been unbeaten in their previous 11 and face a City side who have lost just two of their past 13 top flight home matches against the North Londoners.

Tottenham team news vs Manchester City
Spurs’ record of eight wins, two draws and three defeats is the same as they had after 13 Premier League matches of last season under Antonio Conte. They lost 2-1 at home against Liverpool in their 14th league fixture.
Last season, Spurs had to rely on the brilliance of Harry Kane to take all three points last season following a 3-2 win in one of the greatest individual performances in Premier League history, however, with the striker now at Bayern Munich, the fans will be looking to the likes of Heung-min Son to prove to be the thorn in City’s side.
This is who takes to the field at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon:
Man City XI: Ederson, Rúben Dias, Gvardiol, Walker(c), Álvarez, Akanji, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Haaland, Doku
