Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter want Giovani Lo Celso to start against Manchester City today, but they will be disappointed.

Spurs will take on City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Lo Celso is available for the match, with the Argentina international midfielder having joined Spurs on loan from Real Betis on transfer deadline day.

Some Tottenham fans on Twitter have urged manager Mauricio Pochettino to include the 23-year-old in the starting lineup this evening.

However, Pochettino has made it clear that the former Paris Saint-Germain youngster will not start, but the Tottenham boss has suggested that the youngster could come on as a substitute.

Pochettino told Football.London about Lo Celso: “We’ll see. A lot of things happen around him in his life.

“He had no pre-season and has to come in and adapt. Starting in the 11, I can tell you no. Involved tomorrow? We will see.”

Jan Vertonghen did not play for Tottenham against Aston Villa last weekend, as the North London outfit kicked of their 2019-20 Premier League campaign with a win at home.

Tottenham boss Pochettino has said that the Belgium international is available for the game against City, but the Argentine has not made it clear whether or not the 32-year-old will be part of the starting lineup against the Citizens.

Pochettino told Football.London about Vertonghen: “We’ll see. We still have one training session more. He’s fit and of course it’s my decision if he’s playing or not.”
