Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham - Premier League
Manchester City will throw everything they have into Tuesday night's match at Tottenham Hotspur when they visit north London to edge themselves closer to clinching the Premier League title.
Two goals from Josko Gvardiol and one apiece from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez delivered Man City a comprehensive 4-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, placing the onus on Arsenal to beat Manchester United on Sunday.
The Gunners kept their side of the bargain in a 1-0 success at Old Trafford thanks to Leandro Trossard's first-half finish and must now hope their bitter local rivals do them a favour in midweek.
Here's how City could line up against Spurs with the pressure now on their shoulders.
GK: Ederson — The Brazilian has featured consistently between the sticks for City in recent matches, relegating Stefan Ortega back to the bench. It's unlikely that the gloves will be traded again before the end of the season with Ederson fully fit once more.
RB: Kyle Walker — Looked set for a rest ahead of the Spurs clash but was brought on for Nathan Ake in City's clash with Fulham after just over 20 minutes. Nevertheless, the 33-year-old rose to the occasion admirably with a stalwart defensive performance and will likely do the same at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
CB: Ruben Dias — The Portuguese made his return to City's starting lineup at Craven Cottage and showed no signs of rust from his injury layoff, completing the full 90 minutes. Both Pep Guardiola and supporters will be hopeful the centre-back can feature in the remaining fixtures of the season, both in the Premier League and the FA Cup.
CB: Manuel Akanji — With Ake out and Walker in, the Switzerland international will likely partner with Dias at centre-back.
LB: Josko Gvardiol — Gvardiol's brace
