Preview...

It’s a big game for…

Dele Alli: The youngster is in a rich vein of form, with his recent performances resulting in an elevated reputation. He will be hoping to carry this fine run with him into the clash at the Etihad and prove himself against a club of such status.

Best stat…

A win at the Etihad could see Spurs become the first ever team to do the top-flight double over a side managed by Pep Guardiola.

Remember when…

When Christian Eriksen slid home the winner in Tottenham's 2-1 victory at the Etihad last season. It was his birthday.

Player to watch…

Victor Wanyama: The introduction of the 25-year-old to White Hart Lane has been tremendous. He found his stride instantly and remains a key part of the the side. His partnership in the middle with Dembele is proving unstoppable and it will be interesting to see if the pair can thwart Man City's embarrassment of attacking riches.

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 1 - 0 TOTTENHAM 

Sane makes a darting run through on goal and Lloris comes bombing out and misses the ball with an attempted header. The 21-year-old then just slots the ball into the back of the open net. Fantastic assist by De Bruyne. 

They deserve that.

51 MINS

Yellow card: Alli pushes Otamendi to the ground and receives a rightfully rewarded warning.

53 MINS

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 2 - 0 TOTTENHAM 

De Bruyne has doubled the home side's tally, following a goalkeeping nightmare from Lloris. Sterling delivers the ball into the box and it slips out of the hands of the Tottenham keeper, falling perfectly for the Belgian to poke it home.

Can Tottenham chase down this two goal deficit? We'll see. 

[21 January 2017 18:45 · Joe Miles]

56 MINS

Match statistics so far show that City have 13 attempts on goal, in comparison to Tottenhams miserable two chances.

It's a deserved lead.

58 MINS

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 2 - 1 TOTTENHAM

Against the run of play, Alli has snatched a goal for the visitors. Walker delivers the cross into the danger zone and the goalscorer manages to get his head on the ball and knock it past a helpless Bravo. Spurs are back in it. 

[21 January 2017 18:49 · Joe Miles]

61 MINS

Son breaks through on goal, but to the relief of the City fans he was flagged offside. With 30 minutes left, it seems that this is still anyone's game. 

[21 January 2017 18:53 · Joe Miles]

64 MINS

Substitution: Alderweireld is replaced by Winks

[21 January 2017 18:57 · Joe Miles]

67 MINS

A De Bruyne corner goes into the danger zone, but it's easily dealt with by Dier. They should be doing more from these set pieces.

[21 January 2017 18:59 · Joe Miles]

70 MINS

Rose goes to ground following a clash with De Bruyne. Man City look a little unsettled since the Alli goal, so the game could still go either way. 

[21 January 2017 19:01 · Joe Miles]

72 MINS

Erikson leads a Tottenham attack, but his through ball is lacklustre and fails to find the feet of Kane. It's the final ball that is letting Pochettino's men down at the moment.
