Manchester City have been dealt a huge blow ahead of their clash with Tottenham. Pep Guardiola's side are set to welcome Spurs to the Etihad Stadium as the reigning Premier League champions look to force themselves back into the title race.
The home side head into the clash in second; eight points behind table-toppers Arsenal, who extended their lead with a dominant north London derby victory.
Tottenham, who sit fifth and six points behind City, will be eager to bounce back from defeat with a win. However, any points stolen from Guardiola's side will be bitter-sweet, pushing their local rivals closer towards lifting the Premier League at the end of the season.
