Tottenham will welcome Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as they look to make it two Premier League wins in a row.
Jose Mourinho’s Spurs are sixth in the table, just outside the automatic qualifying places for Europe. Prior to an entertaining 1-1 draw with Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round, the north Londoners defeated Norwich City 2-1 at home.
Spurs’ opponents on Sunday, Manchester City are second in the table and unbeaten in their last five league games.
Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Sunday’s game. New Tottenham signing Steven Bergwijn will be in contention to make his debut against Man City.
Lloris has walked straight back into the starting XI since recovering from a shoulder injury. He’ll be in goal on Sunday.
Aurier isn’t reliable when it comes to defending, meaning it would be best if the Ivorian starts at right wing-back against Man City.
A leader at the back, Alderweireld is a certainty to start. He’ll need to be at his best to keep Aguero at bay.
Sanchez has blown hot and cold this campaign, but he’s a certainty to start at the weekend.
Vertonghen’s experience and leadership would be required at the back if Spurs are to stop City.
Sessegnon seems to be more attack-minded, thus he could benefit from starting at left wing-back.
A workhorse in the middle of the park, Winks will look to keep things simple and break City’s attacks. He’s a certainty to start at home.
Lo Celso will once again be called upon to provide the creativity in the centre of the park on Sunday. The Argentinean has impressed in recent weeks and will partner Winks in midfield.
Alli is expected to play a key role for the team as he would be an important figure that links things between midfield and attack.
Moura’s burst of pace and movement could cause a lot of problems for City’s defenders. The Brazilian will start in a two-pronged attack alongside Son.
The goal against Southampton in the FA Cup would have given Son a lot of confidence. He is expected to lead the attack from the left.
