Team News: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City

Tottenham remain without several key players, though their injury situation has improved in recent weeks. Ben Davies (load management), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dominic Solanke (knee), Richarlison (calf), Cristian Romero (thigh), and Micky van de Ven (thigh) are confirmed absentees. Timo Werner is racing against time to be fit, but even if available, he is unlikely to start.

James Maddison and Pedro Porro were rested in the previous match against Ipswich Town, but both should return to the starting XI. Their involvement could see Mathys Tel drop to the bench, while Brennan Johnson’s brace last time out makes him a strong candidate to keep his place in attack.

For Manchester City, Erling Haaland remains doubtful due to a knee injury, and Guardiola has not provided a definitive update on his fitness. The visitors will also be without Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (ankle), Manuel Akanji (abductor), and John Stones (thigh). Kevin De Bruyne started against Liverpool but may be rested due to fixture congestion.

Expected Lineups: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City

With both teams battling injuries and fatigue, squad selection will be crucial in determining the outcome of Wednesday’s highly anticipated clash. Tottenham will look to extend their winning streak, while Manchester City aim to bounce back from a tough defeat to Liverpool. Both managers must carefully navigate their lineup choices to maximize their team’s strengths.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting XI:

Vicario; Porro, Gray, Danso, Spence; Maddison, Bentancur, Sarr; Kulusevski, Johnson, Son

Manchester City possible starting XI:

Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Silva, Doku; Marmoush

Both managers will have crucial tactical decisions to make, especially with key players either absent or doubtful. Spurs will aim to capitalize on City’s recent struggles, while Guardiola’s men will need to find a way to regain their attacking edge without Haaland.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City

With home advantage and a fully firing attack, Tottenham will fancy their chances of troubling City’s backline. Spurs have rediscovered their attacking rhythm, and their recent defensive improvements at home make them a formidable opponent.

City, despite their recent struggles, still possess the quality to trouble any side, even without Haaland. Their lack of a focal point up front was evident in their loss to Liverpool, but Guardiola’s side remains a threat.

A high-scoring affair is expected, with both sides likely to find the net. Tottenham’s attacking momentum and City’s resilience could result in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
