Man City vs Tottenham live score, updates, lineups and result from Premier League showdown

ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Premier League champions Manchester City and Tottenham are each looking to return to winning ways when they clash this weekend.

Pep Guardiola's side have drawn their past two top-flight games, leading a crazy 4-4 draw at Chelsea three times before Trent Alexander-Arnold's late equaliser pegged them back and last weekend's showdown with title rivals Liverpool finished 1-1.
