Manchester City travel to White Hart Lane on Wednesday to face fellow Premier League title hunters Tottenham.

City, who sit just one point behind League leaders Arsenal, have won 13 of their last 14 games, which includes victories over Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. However, last week City suffered a scare after almost being knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Watford. The game showed the vulnerabilities of one of the top teams in the Premier League.

Tottenham have experienced resurgence since manager Tim Sherwood took on the role full time. Tottenham have now won four of their last six games. The return of striker Emmanuel Adebayor to the starting XI has been a welcome boost for the team, with the Togo international scoring six goals in eight games. Spurs are currently fifth in the Premiership, just seven points behind opposition Man City and they will be looking to propel themselves into a Champions League spot with a win on Wednesday.
