Manchester City’s flawless record was broken in the thrilling 3-3 Champions League draw at Celtic on Wednesday night but there is little doubt their reputation as the Premier League’s team to beat precedes them here. Tottenham have been used to playing deep-sitting, counterattacking opponents in recent weeks but they know that City will fight to control the ball. An open, high-tempo showdown looms, which will be scrutinised for title pointers. David Hytner
