Bergwijn and Fernandes in, Dele Alli out - The team the Tottenham fans want to see vs Man City

Tottenham face one of the toughest tests of the season as they welcome reigning Premier League Champions Manchester City to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs fans could see a new name in the starting lineup as January signing Steven Bergwijn looks to make a good first impression with supporters after completing a move from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, and will be included in the squad against City.

Boss Jose Mourinho said: "He will be in the squad, he's fit, he comes from competition, he's ready to play."

Bergwijn joins Gedson Fernandes as the second signing of the January transfer window. Fernandes has joined on a 18-month loan from Portuguese side Benfica and has been a second half substitute in both of his Premier League games so far. He played 56 minutes of the FA Cup draw with Southampton last week.

And it is little surprise that the Tottenham supporters want to see both new signings named in the starting lineup on Sunday.

What a game for Bergwijn to make his Premier League debut in.

And the Tottenham supporters would like to see Jose Mourinho make two changes from the team that drew 1-1 with Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round.

And Bergwijn is one of the changes they want to see, with the Dutch international coming in from the start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His position in the team would appear to come at the expense of Dele Alli, while the other change comes in the heart of the midfield, with supporters wanting Tanguy Ndombele to come in alongside Fernandes.
