Manchester City is set on getting back to their winning streak in the Premier League as they prepare to host Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday afternoon. Their recent track record includes securing five wins out of five in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday, notably rallying from a 2-0 deficit to clinch a 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig.
Despite this European success, Pep Guardiola’s squad has faced two consecutive draws in the league against Chelsea and Liverpool. These outcomes have caused them to slip from the top spot in the standings, currently holding second place, trailing leaders Arsenal by a single point.
City are anticipated to reintroduce several key players into the starting lineup for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Tottenham. Pep Guardiola made some changes in the lineup during the comeback victory against Leipzig, opting not to substitute any players after the draw with Liverpool last weekend.
4-2-3-1 Manchester City Predicted XI Vs Tottenham
Defence
Ederson will function in goal for the Mancunian club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji will form the centre-half partnership as they try to keep the opposition attackers at bay during the game.
Kyle Walker will showcase his defensive and offensive on the right flank, while Josko Gvardiol shines on the opposite flank.
Manuel Akanji will offer cover for the defensive positions as they take a spot on the bench.
Midfield
Rodri and John Stones will fill in as the holding midfielders as they focus on dominating the ball at the centre of the park. Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez and Jack Grealish will play just ahead of Rodri and Stones as they will need to move the ball well and create enough chances for Man City to win this away encounter.
John Stones will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Erling Haaland will lead the charge for the Mancunian giants on the attacking end of the field. The Norwegian striker would be eager to find the back of the net this weekend.
