Over two weeks since Tottenham squandered a two goal lead at the Etihad Stadium, Antonio Conte's side host Manchester City this afternoon in a vital Premier League clash.
Since the 4-2 defeat in Manchester in January, Spurs have responded in perfect fashion with victories over Fulham and Preston North End in the FA Cup. Attention now turns back to league action and securing UEFA Champions League football next season
Following Newcastle's 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday, the north Londoners can cut the gap to only one point today. However, they come up against a side who are eager to make it five league titles in six years.

The game is the first opportunity for Spurs fans to see deadline day arrival Pedro Porro. The former Man City defender joined Conte's side on loan with an option to buy for €45million (£39.5million) and has been touted to instantly start following the late exits of Djed Spence and Matt Doherty.
Conte won't be on the touchline for Spurs for the time-being after undergoing surgery to remove his gallbladder. In his absence, assistant manager Cristian Stellini hinted that the Portuguese could be named in the starting line-up. He said: "Could be. He is young but he has great experience.
"He plays in a similar system we use to play and he is available.
Spurs have also been handed a boost in their options this afternoon with Cristian Stellini confirming on Friday that Richarlison and Lucas Moura were available.
Here's the full squad available:
Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Fraser Forster, Alfie Whiteman, Brandon Austin
