Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City will face each other in the Premier League this afternoon.

Tottenham's Erik Lamela celebrates scoring their fifth goal

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to maintain their good run of form when they take on Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon.

Spurs will head into the match against City at White Hart Lane on the back of a 1-0 victory over CSKA Moscow away from home in Russia in Champions League Group E.

The North London outfit are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 14 points from six matches.

Tottenham's Son Heung-min scores their first goal

Tottenham are just four points behind leaders City and will fancy their chances of winning against Pep Guardiola’s side this afternoon.

City have been the best team in the Premier League so far this season and have a 100% record.

Manchester City's Sergio Aguero in action

The Citizens, though, have shown signs in recent games that defensively they are vulnerable.

Guardiola’s side will head into the match against Tottenham in North London on the back of a 3-3 draw with Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in Champions League Group C.

Victory would give Spurs their second-best start to a top-flight season, bettered only by their title-winning 1960-61 campaign.
