Erik ten Hag has already told Antonio Conte how Tottenham can stop Man City star Erling Haaland

Following Sunday's North London Derby defeat against Arsenal, Tottenham have the little matter of trying to nullify Manchester City on Thursday evening. It is going to be another incredibly tough game for Spurs but they did cause a major shock at the Etihad Stadium last February after sealing a last-minute 3-2 win.

However, this time around they have Erling Haaland to try and deal with. The Norwegian international has been a huge success since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund, scoring an incredible 27 goals in 24 appearances for Pep Guardiola's men.

The 22-year-old comes into Thursday's fixture on the back of three games without a goal after drawing blanks against Chelsea, Southampton and Manchester United. Failing to register a shot on target in their 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford last Saturday, Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag outlined how to stop the hotshot, something which could prove very useful to Conte and Spurs prior to their trip to Manchester.
