Big Match Breakdown: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Latest betting and odds for Premier League clash

Manchester City will return to the summit of the Premier League with victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium this evening.

The 8/15 title favourites were deposed from top spot over the weekend following victories for Liverpool and Chelsea. Three points for Spurs would move them above the Citizens into second and leave them just two points adrift of the Reds at the top.

Who will prevail live from 8pm on Sky Sports Main Event? We’ve previewed the clash with a Big Match Breakdown.

Head-to-Head

Since their first competitive meeting in 1909, Man City and Spurs are at level pegging with 60 wins apiece in this fixture. While the North Londoners won three on the bounce from 2015 to 2016, City are now unbeaten in a hat-trick of matches against their title rivals.

The Citizens prevailed 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium last term, before Gabriel Jesus, Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling set Pep Guardiola’s men on their way to a 3-1 win at Wembley in April.

Likely XIs

Mauricio Pochettino has no new injury concerns, with Dele Alli and Danny Rose both closing in on a return to the side. The former could feature instead of Son Heung-Min, while Harry Winks may return in place of Mousa Dembele alongside Eric Dier.

Pep Guardiola is expected to alter the side which saw off Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Vincent Kompany should all be recalled. Kevin de Bruyne started his first match since the World Cup Third Place Play-Off last week – he’ll keep his spot in midfield.
