THE LOWDOWN
TOTTENHAM
- Tottenham Hotspur will be without their manager on the touchline for this one with Antonio Conte having to undergo surgery to remove a gallbladder. Conte is taking a break from his Spurs side that begin the weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the top four but they do come into this following back of back-to-back victories against Fulham and Preston.
- There is a near fully-fit squad to choose from with Richarlison pushing for a start although a front three of Kulusevski, Kane and Son is expected.
MAN CITY
- Pep Guardiola had a reported falling out with one of last season’s star men in their title win, Joao Cancelo, and the Portuguese departed for Bayern Munich this week. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 win against Premier League league leaders Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round last week.
- Phil Foden is reportedly available for selection but John Stones could miss up to a month of action with a hamstring injury.

THE PREDICTION
It should be taken into account the impressive performances that Spurs have put in against Manchester City recently, completing the double over the reigning champions last season. They did take a 2-0 lead in this fixture at the Etihad last month, too, before a City comeback in the second-half which saw the home team win 4-2. That performance was another bizarre and lacklustre start by Manchester City. In their last 22 Premier League matches, 20 this season and the final two games of last year, they have gone two goals down in a game on five occasions and they have conceded two or more goals in eight games. Tottenham will therefore be confident of notching at home against a clearly defensively flawed team that appear to be evolving into an even more complex style and system of football mid-season with Guardiola aiming for a 3-2-4-1 formation. A score draw seems a good bet with City’s lack of fluency also causing an issue, despite Erling Haaland’s ridiculous numbers so far this season.
TIP: DRAW
