#1 Tottenham vs Manchester City
Monday night sees City travel to Wembley seeking to remind the Premier League that they’re the Champions for a reason.
City are one of three sides undefeated so far but have yet to pull away at the top thanks to good starts from Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. Only two points separate the five teams.
Yet, this could be one instance where the table isn’t being entirely truthful. City appear to be entering the same groove that helped them dominate the league last season and have been strengthened by the return of Kevin De Bruyne.
Spurs, on the other hand, have been far from their best despite their good form. Their last four wins have been scrappy.
Harry Kane has found form again, but concerns remain over a defence that has struggled to assert itself this season.
One reason for that has been the absence of Jan Vertonghen and the poor form of Hugo Lloris.
Lloris was dismissed in midweek against PSV Eindhoven and cost Spurs a vital three points.
Spurs have suffered at home against top opposition so far, first losing to Liverpool, and then being thumped by Barcelona.For City, this could be a chance to put some distance between them and the chasing pack. As for Spurs, they’ll be looking for a confidence-boosting win against a top side.
