The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Tottenham Hotspur lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The north London outfit slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have also flattered to deceive this season. The Cityzens suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
