I have seen Tottenham a few times this season and they have improved in attack in recent weeks.
They are clearly trying to get as many people in and around Harry Kane as possible, with Son Heung-min one player who did that in their win over Crystal Palace last time out, and Dele Alli another.

Alli is clearly going to be a really good player but I am not convinced by his partnership with Eric Dier at the heart of their midfield.
Alli likes to get forward, and I understand why, but he will have defensive work to do on Saturday and, if City have a lot of the ball, I think they will win.

I cannot see Tottenham trying to replicate the counter-attacking tactics that worked for West Ham against City last week, and I am not sure they could do it successfully even if they wanted to.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Kelly's prediction: 1-2

This will be a walk in the park for City, especially after their slip up against West Ham. Spurs' north London derby defeat will affect them, especially as they were looking for a winner when Mathieu Flamini banged in the second.

I can't think of a tougher game for them, and I see this as the game Sergio Aguero comes back to scoring ways in the league. The sign of champions is to bounce back quickly from defeat. City did that in midweek at Sunderland, and I see them doing that again this weekend in the league.

Heung-min Son looks a good buy for Spurs; he's energetic and good on the ball, two hugely important traits. But they'll need far more than that against Man City.

Paul Predicts 0-3

No prizes for guessing Mersons prediction, I think he predicts spurs to lose every game the bitter twisted twat he is
