Tottenham are looking to make it seven wins on the bounce when they visit Manchester City over the weekend. The Citizens suffered a heavy loss against Everton last week, losing by four goals to nil. Pep Guardiola will know that his team must step up soon if they are to have even a glimmer of hope of challenging for the title.

A win against second-place Spurs will surely put them back into the fold and add pressure on the other teams. Mauricio Pochettino’s team have already beaten the Sky Blues in the league this season and will be aiming to do the double over them on Saturday.

Elsewhere in England, Liverpool will host a struggling Swansea team at Anfield, while Arsenal also have a relatively easy fixture against Burnley. Stoke City, who just managed to break into the top half of the table, will play host to a Manchester United side that are unbeaten in their last 12 league games.

League leaders Chelsea conclude gameweek 22 in the Premier League when they take on Hull City on Sunday.
