The reason why Manchester City don't concede many goals, apart from their great defensive lineup, is the fact that their defensive work starts right from central midfield.

It started way back since the time of Yaya Toure, it was succeeded by Brazilian Fernandinho, and now City have signed probably one of the best young defensive midfield talents in the world - Rodri Hernandez.

Tottenham have also made an equally impactful midfield signing in Tanguy Ndombele and already have Frenchman Moussa Sissoko in their lineup. Both these players have the quality and strength to break that defensive organization of City, which begins in the centre of the park.

Harry Kane against Laporte and Stones would be another interesting battle which could be decisive as the English striker has already broken his August curse to score 2 goals last weekend, and will be eager to add to his tally tomorrow.


What do you think about Tottenham's chances against City tomorrow night?
