Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back from three straight defeats with a visit to Manchester City this weekend, and we’ve all the information you need to stay abreast of the action on Sunday.
The fine progress Spurs had made under Ange Postecoglou in the first ten games of the season has come to something of a halt of late. Understandable, really, given the spate of injuries and suspensions that have hit the squad.
Three consecutive defeats to Chelsea, Wolves, and Aston Villa have seen Spurs drop to fifth in the Premier League table, and the Lilywhites now sit three points behind Pep Guardiola’s side.
City go into the game with three straight wins in the league, and will be buoyed by the stunning comeback against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Manchester City vs Tottenham team news
Spurs are in something of an injury crisis right now, with nine first-team players ruled out as things stand, including key players such as James Maddison and Micky van de Ven.
Pape Matar Sarr could be in line for a return but is still a doubt, while fellow midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will be missing until February of next year after picking up an ankle injury against Villa. Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Richarlison, Ashley Phillips, and Ryan Sessegnon are all out, too.
Cristian Romero has one more game to serve on his three-game suspension after being sent off against Chelsea at the start of November, but Yves Bissouma will be available for selection again after missing the last game through suspension.
For City, John Stones is ready to return after an injury, but Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic are 50/50 as they battle to recover from their own issues. Kevin De Bruyne is still out injured, too.
Spurs Web Opinion
If we had our full-strength XI, I’d fancy us to get a result here, but with a depleted squad I just can’t see a positive outcome sadly. I’m going to go for a City win, 2-0.
