Tottenham v Manchester City: match preview

Tottenham v Manchester City
Tottenham v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

José Mourinho and Pep Guardiola meet for a 24th time as managers in what is sure to be a highlight of the weekend. Guardiola will be seriously nervous of a title-denting defeat after signing a contract extension at Manchester City, if Sergio Agüero and Raheem Sterling fail to make the starting lineup. Mourinho will be quietly confident his flying Tottenham can put serious pressure on a City’s brittle defence. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have been unstoppable and it is unlikely the international break will allow any respite from their surgical precision. Graham Searles
