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.

City are looking to put this fixture to bed with a third goal, with Sterling charging through on goal but only managing to deliver the ball into the hands of Lloris. Guardiola voices his frustration as he believes Sterling was being pushed in the back, but no penalty given.

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 2 - 2 TOTTENHAM 

Substitute Son has scored the equaliser, just a minute after the penalty controversy at the other end. Eriksen sends the ball into Kane, who cleverly flicks it into the path of Son. The substitute took no chances and buried the ball into the bottom right hand corner. 

This will certainly cause dispute at the end, as Guardiola still believes that they should have a penalty.

Substitution: Sterling is replaced by Jesus. 

If the 19-year-old could score on his debut, that would be quite the fairytale story for the youngster.

FULL TIME

MANCHESTER CITY 2 - 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 

It's all over at the Etihad, but the two clubs will be leaving with very different attitudes towards the final result. City were the better side throughout and Guardiola will no doubt believe his side deserved a blatant penalty in the latter stages of the game. The penalty claim was not given and it resulted in the Spurs equaliser just 60 seconds later. The home side were in control, but failed to convert in front of goal. 

Pochettino's men deserve credit for resilience to not give up, even when chasing a two goal deficit. City deserved more, but from a neutral point of view, that was a truly emphatic bout between two clubs of huge status. It certainly keeps it all to play for at the top of the table and it's turned out to be a great day for Chelsea - who currently lead the league.

That's all from us today here at The Independent, but make sure you tune in tomorrow to keep updated with all of the Super Sunday action.

I hope you've enjoyed today's blogs. Over and out.
