4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI Vs Manchester City
Defence
Guglielmo Vicario will operate in goal for Spurs after keeping a clean sheet in his last Premier League outing. Cristian Romero will continue to play alongside Eric Dier at the heart of Tottenham’s backline as they look to keep the Man City forwards at bay during the game.

Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Yves Bissouma and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will operate in the middle of the park as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.
Brennan Johnson will try to work his magic from the left while Dejan Kulusevski gives a good account of himself from the right-flank. Giovanni Lo Celso will play as advanced attacking midfielder and will try to create as many chances as possible to win this game against the Sky Blues.
Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg will have to take a spot on the bench and wait for his chance to impress in the second half in needed.
Attack
Heung-Min Son will lead the charge for the North London club as he looks to get his name on the scoresheet.
Richarlison will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages if told to do so.
