by Tottenham Hotspur will compete with Manchester City at the Etihad stadium this Saturday afternoon as they seek to get a good result during their first league trips. Spurs managed to win a 3-0 victory over Burnley last weekend, which should give them a lot of confidence before this match.
Thomas Frank will put his team in a 4-3-3 training and could make some modifications to his first team for this competition. Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur should play at the start of this match, while Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray fall on the bench.
Guglielmo Vicario will be between the sticks for Tottenham after keeping a white sheet in his last appearance. Cristian Romero will continue to play alongside Mick Van de Ven in the center of Frank’s defense as they seek to maintain a solid defensively form during the 90 minutes.
Pedro Porro will be appointed to the right back, while Djed Spence hopes to prove its value on the other side as a back left. The two will have to perform their defensive tasks if the Spurs should keep things tidy in the back this Saturday.

Pope Matar Sarr, Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur will compose the Tottenham midfielder. All three must be at the top of their game if the Spurs want to go out this weekend.
Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will be available for selection on the bench and could arrive to have an impact within 45 seconds if necessary.
Mohammed Kudus will be a starter nailed on the right side, while Brennan Johnson hopes to impress as a large player on the left side. Richarlison will launch Frank’s attack in the middle. Brazilian talent managed to get his name on the match sheet against Burnley, which should keep him in a good mood in this match against the men of Pep Guardiola.
Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert will compensate for the figures on the bench while they are waiting for their opportunity to impress in the last quarter of the match if the London club needs a goal.
