Fixture: Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:15 (UK time)
Manchester City have confirmed their team and substitutes for this afternoon's Premier League visit of Tottenham Hotspur to the Etihad Stadium.
Citizens manager Manuel Pellegrini, who saw his side lose their last game at home against Leicester City, has captain Vincent Kompany in the heart of the defence, alongside Nicolas Otamendi. Fernandinho and Fernando will look to control the middle of the park, to feed Yaya Toure, Raheem Sterling and David Silva. Sergio Aguero plays up front.
On the bench, Pellegrini can turn to Martin Demichelis if he needs to bolster his side's defensive options at any point during the 90 minutes.
Manchester City, who lost the earlier fixture against Spurs 4-1 this season, will be desperate to pick up all three points today to give their Premier League title push a shot in the arm.

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernandinho, Fernando, Toure, Sterling, Silva, Aguero
