Manchester City will face off against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Friday night as they look to secure a win in the FA Cup. The Mancunian club managed to secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Newcastle United recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this cup contest.
Pep Guardiola will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could name a strong first team for this game. Kevin De Bruyne will probably get a chance to impress from the start of this clash.
4-2-3-1 Manchester City Predicted Lineup To Face Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
Stefan Ortega will operate in between the sticks for Man City as he looks to secure a clean sheet on the road. Nathan Ake will function alongside Ruben Dias at the centre of the Man City backline as they look to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Kyle Walker will be a nailed-on starter at right-back while Josko Gvardiol looks to put in a good display as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Rico Lewis will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Rodri and Mateo Kovacic will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on making life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park. The talented trio of Phil Foden, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva will play just ahead of them as part of the Man City attack. All three of them would look to fashion some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Oscar Bobb and Kalvin Phillips will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if needed.
Attack
Julian Alvarez will lead the line for the Mancunian talent in the final third. He would be eager to find the back of the net this Friday night.
Jeremy Doku will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages if required.
