Kick-Off: 5:15 pm IST
Mauricio Pochettino's men, Tottenham Hotspur are all set to take on league leaders Manchester City at the White Hart Lane.
Manuel Pellegrini's men enter this fixture having lost to West Ham United 2-1 on September 19 at the Ethiad Stadium. It was Manchester City's first loss of the season.
Following the two-week international break, Tottenham Hotspur have won back-to-back Premier League games, defeating Sunderland and Crystal Palace. But despite a good form in the Premier League, Tottenham lost to Arsenal 2-1 in the Capital One cup.
However, Tottenham striker Harry Kane's form is a big concern for all the Tottenham fans. The 23-year-old who managed to net 31 goals in all competitions last season for Spurs, is struggling this season to get his name on the score-sheet. Kane has failed to score a single goal this season.
Spurs' latest summer signing Son Heung-min is the player who might take take some pressure off Harry Kane.
Having suffered an unexpected loss by the hands of West Ham at home, Manuel Pellegrini's men bounced back by thrashing Sunderland 4-1 on Wednesday's Capital One Cup match.
Talking to the Manchester City's official website, Pellegrini commented on Spurs saying: "I don’t analyse Spurs’ start – they have good players, a very young team – so I think that Pochettino is doing very good work there and we’ll see how they do at the end of the season.”
New signings Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne are likely to be lined up behind striker Sergio Aguero for Manchester City's match against Tottenham. Mid-fielder Yaya Toure will be a key player for Manuel Pellegrini.
Team News:
Manchester City will be missing Wilfried Bony, GaelClichy, Fabian Delph, Kelechi Iheanacho, Eliaquim Mangala, David Silva
Tottenham will be missing Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb, Mousa Dembele, Alex Pritchard.
