"Archie Gray at right-back certainly has a job on his hands to contain Antoine Semenyo, who Spurs tried to sign earlier in the window. The former Bournemouth man has been electric sign he joined City, slotting straight into Pep Guardiola's preferred XI. Against a Spurs defence that has looked vulnerable to say the least of late, he will surely be licking his lips."
"Out-of-form Tottenham welcome title-challenging Manchester City in a game fans of both teams may well want City to win, given Spurs supporters' preference to see Arsenal bottle fail to win the title. There will be no such thoughts from Thomas Frank of course. The former Brentford coach desperately needs some league wins to go with his team's positive Champions League campaign and, despite City's lofty league standing, can have some hope of a decent result given this fixture's recent history."
Thomas Frank has been beset by injuries for most of the season, leaving Tottenham without key players including Maddison, Kulusevski, Kudus, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Bergvall, Porro and Davies. Archie Gray starts at right-back and must contain Antoine Semenyo. Semenyo joined Manchester City from Bournemouth and has quickly fit into Pep Guardiola's preferred XI, showing electric form. Manchester City line-up includes Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, O'Reilly, Bernardo Silva, Cherki, Haaland and Semenyo. Tottenham have recent favourable results against City, having won three of the last four and eight of the last 15 since 2020, offering Spurs some hope.
