Tottenham Hotspur are set to play Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in the English Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in a friendly fixture. A second-half goal from South Korean forward Son Heung-min ensured victory for Nuno Espirito Santo's Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester City, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City in the FA Community Shield. A late second-half penalty from former Manchester City striker and Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho sealed the deal for Leicester City.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur's summer has been dominated by Harry Kane's transfer saga, with the superstar persistently linked with a move to Manchester City. The club have been active in the transfer window, having signed the likes of Cristian Romero, Bryan Gil and Pierluigi Gollini, but Kane's potential departure will create huge problems.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have already secured Jack Grealish from Aston Villa. They are the favourites to win the Premier League title, and if they do acquire Kane then Manchester City will boast arguably the best squad in the league.
Tottenham Hotspur's new manager Nuno Espirito Santo will hope to have Kane for this game. Having said that, Pep Guardiola's side are a well-oiled machine and should win here.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester City
