City have endured a slow start to the season by their incredibly high standards. They showed their mettle in a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in their last outing, although Kevin De Bruyne's missed penalty loomed large. Pep Guardiola's men have lost only once in the league this term and will be out to prove a point against Spurs this evening.
Tottenham face a test of their Premier League title credentials this evening. Before the international break, Jose Mourinho's men were sitting in second place after reeling off three wins on the bounce, including a 1-0 victory over West Brom last time out.
