Match Preview
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur face off in matchday two of the English Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The game is an important one for the visitors, who will be looking to make a statement by beating the best team in the league. In their season opener, Spurs made hard work against newly promoted side Aston Villa, as they came from behind and registered a 3-1 win, courtesy two goals from Harry Kane.
On the other hand, City enter as firm favourites, more so after a thumping 5-0 win in their season opener against West Ham last week.
Both teams have a relatively close record in the league, where Spurs have 20 wins in 43 matches compared to City's 17. But recently, things are more tilted towards the Manchester-based club, as they have managed to win four out of the last five meetings.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will be still optimistic about getting the better of the reigning league champions, whom his players managed to beat over two legs during the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals last season.
Predicted Lineups
Manchester City: Ederson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling
Tottenham: Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker-Peters, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose, Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, Christian Eriksen, Lucas Moura, Harry

Combined XI
Player Recommendations
Toby Alderweireld (D): Alderweireld is one of the most senior figures in Tottenham Hotspur's squad. The Belgium international has been linked heavily with a move away, but he ended up staying at the club and proved his worth with a masterclass in the season opener against Aston Villa. In arguably one of the toughest games of the league competition, manager Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping for another stellar performance from his star performer.
Tanguy Ndombele (M): Ndombele is the most expensive player in the club's history, and the French international has come to England with a big reputation. In the season opener, the 22-year-old showed why he is the real star in the making, scoring his first Premier League goal in his first Premier League match.
Raheem Sterling (F): Sterling is becoming one of the world's leading attacking players. The England international, who was long tipped to become the next big thing, has taken his game to another level under the guidance of current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. He showed in the season opener against West Ham his tremendous upside, scoring a at trick on four shots.
Captain pick: Raheem Sterling
Vice-captain pick: Lucas Moura
