Tottenham and Manchester City go head to head this weekend.
Manchester City and Tottenham go head to head this weekend in a top of the table Premier League clash.
Central to each team’s chances of winning are in form attackers Raheem Sterling and Heung-Min Son.
The duo have scored five goals each in combined Premier League and Champions League matches this season, both netting in midweek.

The pair have both turned around disappointing form displayed at the end of last season, and will play key roles this weekend.
Son’s five goals have come in five matches, while Sterling’s have been netted in eight appearances.
| Passing Accuracy | Tackles won per game | Chances Created per game | Crossing Accuracy | Dribbles per game | Shots on target per game | Assists | Goals | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Son Heung-Min | 87% | 0.4 | 2.8 | 28% | 3.4 | 1.6 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 405 |
| Raheem Sterling | 81% | 1 | 1.88 | 16% | 3.63 | 1.13 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 679 |
Sterling has provided more assists than Son, but the South Korean has actually created more chances per game.
Son’s crossing has also been more accurate than the City ace, and he has a more efficient pass completion rate.
City were involved in a high scoring game at Celtic in midweek, and the match at White Hart Lane could be another highly entertaining encounter.
Tottenham though have the meanest defence in the Premier League, conceding only three goals in comparison with City’s five, but the attacking talent of the star duo will pose each other a test unlike any they have faced this season.
