Manchester City possible 11:
Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva, Mahrez, Foden and Sterling
Tottenham possible 11:
Lloris, Davies, Dier, Romero, Sessegnon, Højbjerg, Winks, Bentancur, Royal, Kane and Son
Prediction: Man City 2-0 Tottenham
This is a chance for the visitors to arrest their poor run of form as Spurs isn’t in the best of shapes and Conte’s side lacks confidence and ability to fight.
They either put the fight to the hosts or surrender. We expect Manchester City to win this one comfortably.
Players to watch out for: Foden, De Bruyne, Winks and Son.
