A visit from opponents who beat them home and away last season may not inspire confidence as Manchester City look to recover from their defeat at Manchester United and close Arsenal’s eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Tottenham Hotspur, though, did not resemble a team capable of concerning City during their dismal performance in the north London derby, and the reigning champions will be hoping Antonio Conte’s players are similarly uninspired when they arrive at Etihad Stadium.
These clubs have won 65 times each in the 166 previous editions of this fixture, which could be crucial in the second half of their seasons – not least because United travel to Arsenal on Sunday.
Here’s how to follow the action, team news, odds and more as City and Tottenham meet in the Premier League.

Man City vs. Tottenham predicted lineups
Ruben Dias is out with a thigh injury and John Stones has missed City’s past two games with a knock, so Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake could continue in central defense if the England international is not ready to return.
Jack Grealish scored City’s goal at Old Trafford after coming on as a substitute, strengthening his case to start if City head coach Pep Guardiola decides to rotate his starting lineup.
Man City predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo — Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne — Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish
Rodrigo Bentancur could be in contention to return for Tottenham after missing the defeat to Arsenal with a groin problem.
Lucas Moura remains sidelined by a heel issue but Richarlison may start after being introduced as a substitute on his return to fitness in the derby.
Tottenham predicted lineup (3-4-3): Lloris (GK) — Romero, Dier, Lenglet — Doherty, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic — Richarlison, Kane, Son
Man City vs. Tottenham betting odds
That painful 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford has risked City losing touch with Arsenal at the top of the table, and they are heavy favorites to end their two-game losing run against visitors who have conceded twice in eight of their past nine Premier League games, winning just one of their most recent four.
Spurs also urgently need points after a defeat that left them five points shy of the final Champions League qualification position. Goals for both sides could be on the cards: Tottenham has netted nine times across their past three league away games, while City has scored in each of their past eight top-flight matches.
