Fixture: Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:45 (UK time)
Manuel Pellegrini has named his Manchester City side that will take on Tottenham Hotspur later today at White Hart Lane.
Willy Caballero has managed to keep Joe Hart out of the starting eleven. Club captain Vincent Kompany finds himself on the bench, with Martin Demichelis and Nicolas Otamendi resuming their centre-back partnership from midweek. Bacary Sagna and Aleksandar Kolarov continue to maintain their places in the full-back positions.
Yaya Toure, Fernandinho and Fernando will form the central midfield three and Sergio Aguero will play as the lone front man, with Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling providing him with support in attack. Pablo Zabaleta, Samir Nasri and Jesus Navas will provide Pellegrini with options from the bench
Manchester City suffered a setback against West Ham last weekend and are aware that anything less than three points from White Hart Lane might allow Manchester United to replace them at the top of the Premier League table today, if they beat Sunderland at home.
