Both teams enter following opening weekend wins — Spurs beat Burnley and City beat Wolves. Tottenham experienced transfer setbacks after Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze and a failed Morgan Gibbs-White pursuit. Pep Guardiola avoids talk of revenge after last season's 4-0 reverse. Thomas Frank presents a different tactical profile to Ange Postecoglou.
Hello and welcome to minute-by-minute coverage of Manchester City v Tottenham in the Premier League. Both teams come into this one off the back of impressive wins in their opening fixtures last weekend Spurs against Burnley and City at Wolves. Spurs, though, are somewhat licking their wounds after their move for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze was hijacked by Arsenal, trumping the embarrassment they suffered in their failed pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest.
Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, is avoiding talk of revenge in the buildup to this one. He'll surely have been studying the tapes of last season's 4-0 reverse at the hands of today's opponents. But Spurs, of course, are a very different proposition to last November. Thomas Frank is not Ange Postecoglou, etc. Feel free to get in touch with your predictions, thoughts and opinions on today's game you can do so via this email.
