What TV channel is Tottenham v Manchester City on? Kick-off time, team news and predictions

Jose Mourinho will renew his rivalry with Pep Guardiola on Saturday evening as Tottenham take on Manchester City in a crunch Premier League clash.

Spurs have made a brilliant start to their domestic campaign having lost just one of their opening eight matches.

They sit second in the Premier League table, a single point behind leaders Leicester City.

Harry Kane has been in magnificent form up top, with the England captain having already registered 15 goal contributions this campaign.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have struggled to turn draws into victories this season but have won their last four games and will be buoyed by the recent news that Guardiola has committed to the club for the foreseeable future.

Is Spurs v Man City on TV?

The game will be shown live on both Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

Sky customers can also stream the action using Sky Go or the Sky Sports app across a number of devices.

Coverage will start at 5:00pm on Saturday ahead of kick-off, which is half an hour later at 5:30pm.

What is the latest team news?

Spurs will be without summer signing Matt Doherty after the defender returned a positive coronavirus test in midweek.

Harry Winks and Erik Lamela are doubtful, while winger Steven Bergwijn is available for selection after returning early from international duty.

Tanguy Ndombele and Japhet Tanganga are also pushing to return to full fitness but it is unclear whether or not they will be involved on Saturday.

Manchester City will not have Fernandinho at their disposal with the midfielder suffering from a stomach issue, while Benjamin Mendy is a doubt.

Dutch international defender Nathan Ake will miss out as he recovers from a hamstring injury sustained over the international break.

However, Sergio Aguero could return to action having not played since the draw at West Ham United last month.

Raheem Sterling may also be in line to feature for City; he trained on Friday after picking up a knock with England.

Which team is predicted to win?

Pundits are divided over the potential outcome of Sunday's clash.

Mark Lawrenson has tipped City to emerge victorious in his weekly BBC Sport predictions.

"It is going to be close, but I would go with Pep Guardiola to get one over Jose Mourinho," he said.

In contrast, ex-Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov believes his former side will come out on top.

He told Betfair: "I want to see Tottenham win, to say to the whole league that they're serious about challenging for the title, and I believe they will win a tight match."
