Tottenham are set to face yet another difficult challenge in the Premier League as they travel to the Etihad Stadium to play Manchester City. Spurs suffered a setback in the race for a top four spot as they tasted defeat in the North London Derby at the weekend.
Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski returned from injury in the 2-0 loss against Arsenal with Rodrigo Bentancur expected to be in contention to play against City. Spurs now sit five points adrift of the top four with Antonio Conte expressing concerns over how his side are playing recently.
Pep Guardiola was dealt a blow in the title race as City lost against rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite Marcus Rashford's winner causing plenty of controversy. Tottenham got the better of City on their own turf last term and Conte will be hoping for a similar result on Thursday night to get Spurs back in touching distance of the top four.
