Tottenham vs Man City: Preview, predictions and lineups

Tottenham Hotspur could inadvertently aid north London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League title race if they manage to secure a positive result against Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Following a four-game losing streak, Spurs returned to winning ways on Saturday, staging a comeback to defeat Burnley 2-1 to keep a firm grip on fifth place and relegate the visitors in the process.

City, meanwhile, demonstrated their characteristic ruthlessness by securing a commanding 4-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage to maintain pressure on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners.

Here is 90min’s guide to Tuesday’s game.

Spurs’ concerns over injuries have escalated with the absence of Richarlison from Brazil’s Copa America squad. Ange Postecoglou disclosed the striker has been ‘hobbling about’ due to a calf problem and the club are still awaiting the results of his scan.

Yves Bissouma, Timo Werner, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Fraser Forster and Ryan Sessegnon are also sidelined.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Man City (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Skipp; Hojbjerg, Sarr; Johnson, Maddison, Kulusevski; Son.

City have some concerns of their own going into the match in north London.

Nathan Ake was replaced by Kyle Walker during the first half of the triumph over Fulham after showing signs of discomfort. Jack Grealish was absent from the matchday squad altogether due to illness.

Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland.

In recent years, Tottenham have maintained a certain dominance over City when playing on home soil.

However, on paper, Guardiola’s side appears to be too formidable to suffer defeat, especially considering what is at stake.
