For Manchester City, the main concern will be about their two first choice centre backs. Ruben Dias is set to be out for a little while longer. However, John Stones could come into the team pretty soon. Either way, he has Aymeric Laporte, who could be used in this game. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur will be without Lucas Moura, while Rodrigo Bentancur is a doubt for this game. The return of Dejan Kulusevski in the last match will be a big boost for Spurs though.
Manchester City possible line-up: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Grealish, Haaland
Tottenham Hotspur possible line-up: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane
