Confirmed Match Officials: Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)

Simon Hooper will take charge of Manchester City’s rescheduled Premier League clash against Tottenham.

Both Manchester City and Spurs suffered defeats in their local derbies at the weekend, with the Blues looking to bounce back from a painstakingly controversial loss against Manchester United.

Late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford saw United comeback to win 2-1 and move just one point behind City in the table.

Meanwhile, Spurs’ 2-0 loss to Arsenal allowed the Gunners to move eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, as Mikel Arteta’s side capitalised on City’s defeat at Old Trafford.
