Team news
Kyle Walker missed the trip to Sevilla and probably won’t feature until after the international break.
John Stones could return from illness, but may have to make do with a spot on the bench.
Richarlison will likely keep his spot in the side, meaning Dejan Kulusevski or Heung Min Son would start among the substitutes.
Clement Lenglet has started the last two ahead of Ben Davies and may well continue at the Etihad.
Expected starting XI’s
Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Gomez; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Haaland, Foden
Tottenham (3-4-3): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Richarlison, Kane, Son

It should be a close one, however we just fancy the home side to nick it

Can see Spurs scoring, but City still edging out
