Tottenham Hotspur are on a roll, with three successive Premier League victories lifting them to the lofty heights of 12th in the table.
Spurs are a far better team with a cleaner bill of health, shock, horror, and a strong end to the season beckons with more players slated for imminent returns.
A fourth-straight league win is the objective on Wednesday night when a flawed Manchester City outfit come to town. Spurs have enjoyed plenty of success in this fixture since moving into their new home, and another win over the Cityzens would provide further evidence for a late-season resurgence.
Here's how Ange Postecoglou could set his team up on Wednesday night.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario - The Italian's return has proven to be a big boost, and there's no doubt he'll be between the sticks on Wednesday night. He broke his foot while keeping a clean sheet in the reverse fixture.
RB: Djed Spence - Fresh off scoring his first Premier League goal, Spence simply has to retain his place in Postecoglou's starting XI. Pedro Porro is a handy option off the bench.
CB: Kevin Danso - The January arrival has settled in quickly, is already a fan's favourite and is a considerable upgrade on Radu Dragusin in pretty much every regard.
CB: Ben Davies - The experienced defender was out of the XI at the weekend, but he could be brought back in against City having partnered Danso before the victory at Ipswich.
LB: Destiny Udogie - Udogie certainly didn't look bereft of match sharpness on Saturday, but Postecoglou has to carefully manage the Italian's minutes.
CM: Rodrigo Bentancur - He's not the ideal number six, but Bentancur offered more promise at Portman Road of rediscovering his slickest form.
CM: Lucas Bergvall - Swedish teenager Bergvall is living up to the hype and he'll relish this occasion under the lights.
CM: James Maddison - Maddison's production has gone under the radar this season. The English playmaker recorded his 14th Premier League goal contribution off the bench at Ipswich, teeing up Spence following some lovely footwork in the box. He has to come back into the team.
RW: Dejan Kulusevski - We did see Maddison work centrally alongside Kulusevski at times earlier in the season, but Postecoglou is unlikely to bring it back for City's visit - as vulnerable as they are in transition. Thus, Kulusevski will be shunted out wide, replacing Brennan Johnson off the back of a brace, in midweek.
ST: Mathys Tel - The 19-year-old has huffed and puffed without much reward at the start of his Premier League career, and some have questioned whether his long-term future lies up top. Still, he should continue in the side as Spurs' central striker with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison out.
LW: Son Heung-min - The skipper benefitted from having a week off as he recorded a pair of assists in Spurs' 4-1 win at the weekend. There had been calls from him to be dropped, but those cries were muted by his recent performance.
