Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester City this evening.

Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up: Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Dier, Dembele; Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas; Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Walker-Peters, Winks, Eriksen, Alli, Son.

Manchester City starting line-up: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy; Fernandinho, David Silva, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester City substitutes: Muric, Kompany, De Bruyne, Sané, Otamendi, Jesus, Foden.

Tottenham head into the game having drawn 2-2 away at PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League in midweek, and will be looking to bounce back with a Premier League win tonight.

Hugo Lloris keeps his place in goal tonight despite his red card against PSV, with Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies as the full backs, flanking Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld.

Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele start in holding midfield, sitting behind Moussa Sissoko, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura, who support lone striker Harry Kane tonight.

That means that Christian Eriksen is only on the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Serge Aurier, Kyle Walker-Peters, Harry Winks, Son Heung-min and the returning Dele Alli.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have Kevin De Bruyne available again, but haven’t risked the Belgian from the start, as he is named on the bench tonight.

Ederson starts in goal, with ex-Spurs defender Kyle Walker forming part of the back four with John Stones, Aymeric Laporte and Benjamin Mendy tonight.

Fernandinho will play as the holding midfielder behind the two Silvas, David and Bernardo, with Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling either side of Sergio Aguero.

Gabriel Jesus joins De Bruyne on the bench, alongside Arijanet Muric, Vincent Kompany, Leroy Sane, Nicolas Otamendi and Phil Foden.
