Confirmed Line-Ups: Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)

Manchester City will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats on Thursday night, with Tottenham Hotspur the visitors to the Etihad Stadium.

City come into the game knowing that anything other than a win over Antonio Conte’s side could have further detrimental implications on their hopes of catching Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

The current champions sit eight points behind the London club following the weekend’s results, which saw City throw away a 0-1 lead to lose 2-1 to bitter rivals Manchester United, while Arsenal overcame their own rivals in Tottenham via a 0-2 scoreline.

It is Spurs who now take on City at the Etihad Stadium, with the clash at the Etihad Stadium tonight holding significant importance to both squads of players and their respective ambitions for the months that remain this season.
