Tottenham have been handed a major selection boost for their Premier League fixture with Manchester City.
Beaten in the Manchester derby last time out, Pep Guardiola and his star-studded City side quickly return to action at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday night (8pm) against London opponents. Despite their recent dip in form, Tottenham are still sitting fifth in the standings, although they have only picked up four points from a possible 12.
During that stretch, Antonio Conte has been without influential Uruguay international Rodrigo Bentancur, who has been nursing an adductor injury picked up at the World Cup. However, the 25-year-old is back available for Conte as the manager contemplates throwing the former Juventus player straight back in against the reigning champions.
