Manchester City XI vs Tottenham – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester City travel to North London on Sunday, aiming to secure a win that would see them cut Arsenal’s lead at the top to four points.

The stakes for Pep Guardiola’s side have reached a fever pitch following Arsenal’s win yesterday. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has historically been a “bogey” ground for City, with Guardiola losing more league games there than at any other venue. City arrive with the momentum of their midweek Champions League success, but domestic away-day efficiency remains a priority to keep their title hopes alive.

Manchester City Team News

Pep Guardiola manages a squad bolstered by the return of its most influential midfielder. Notably, Rodri is available for selection after serving a domestic suspension. City are also boosted by the eligibility of Marc Guéhi and Antoine Semenyo, both of whom missed the midweek European fixture. Consequently, the manager has a near-full deck to choose from, although Jeremy Doku is ruled out for roughly two weeks with a hamstring injury.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will continue in goal behind a remodelled defensive line featuring Marc Guéhi and Abdukhodir Khusanov. Rodri will reclaim his spot at the base of the midfield. In attack, Erling Haaland will look to build on his midweek goal, supported by Bernardo Silva and the creative Rayan Cherki. Antoine Semenyo could make history if he scores today, becoming only the third player to net against Spurs for two different teams in the same season.
