Storylines
Manchester City: With four wins out of five for City, Pep Guardiola's team is the highest scoring squad in the league with 65 goals in 24 matches. This is a match that is tough on paper, but City should win considering Harry Kane remains out with his hamstring tear and Christian Eriksen not being on the team anymore following his move to Inter Milan.It will be a game with tons of pace and space down the wings, and City should have the majority of the chances, especially early.
Tottenham: Spurs entered the day in eighth place with 34 points, and with Chelsea dropping points at Leicester City, Jose Mourinho's team can pull within four points of the Blues with a victory here. Easier said than done against City, especially with Tottenham struggling to score consistently with three goals in their last four Premier League games. With Christian Eriksen now at Inter Milan, Giovani Lo Celso's role will increase in the middle
Prediction
A stalemate in London as plenty of late chances go unfinished. Pick: Tottenham 1, Manchester City 1
