Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Tottenham (3-4-3): Guglielmo Vicario; Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, Joao Palhinha; Djed Spence, Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma, Destiny Udogie; Wilson Odobert, Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons
Attackers Richarlison, Lucas Bergvall and Mohamed Kudus and defenders Ben Davies and Pedro Porro are injured. Midfielders James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are also out with injuries.
Micky van de Ven could also miss out following a minor knock. Thomas Frank was unsure of the player’s availability ahead of Sunday’s game and said, “Micky is a minor one. It will be touch-and-go for Sunday, we are hoping.”
Man City (3-4-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi, Nico O’Reilly; Rodri, Rayan Cherki, Bernardo Silva, Tijjani Reijnders, Antoine Semenyo; Erling Haaland
Defenders John Stones, Joskov Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are sidelined due to injury. Midfielder Mateo Kovacic and forward Savinhao are also injured and unavailable.
Jeremy Doku won’t feature due to a calf issue. Pep Guardiola ruled the winger out of the Tottenham game and said, “It's a similar injury to last time, only then it was on the lateral side, now it is in the centre. Last time it took 18 days. This time, I presume, will be shorter. It's in the middle one, so we have to take time. He's a robust player.”
