PREVIEW:- TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS MANCHESTER CITY 26/09/2015

Manuel Pellegrini's side will be desperate to return to winning ways in the Premier League after last weekend surprise defeat to West Ham.

City started the league season on a high note with five wins from five matches, but they saw there 100 percent record destroyed by a surprise defeat at the hands of West Ham.


 Man city bounced back with a convincing 4-1 victory at Sunderland on Tuesday and will be hoping to take the three points at White Hart Lane.

LINE-UP

Pellegrini may have to do without a number of first team players at Spurs, as the like of captain Kompany, David silva, Eliaquim Mangala and Samir Nasri all missed the trip to Sunderland.

Sergio Aguero is fully fit again after he picked up a knock in the win at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, and he is set to lead City's line at the Lane.

Tottenham will be looking to overcome the defeat by arch-rivals Arsenal on Wednesday and continue their climb up the table.

Pochettino's men failed to win in their opening four Premier League games,but have taken maximum points from Sunderland and Palace in their last two outings.

"There were a lot of positives, but in the end the feeling is bad because it was a derby and we all had the motivation to win this game. Now we need to prepare for City. We have one day less because they played Tuesday and we have to be strong.", said by Pochettino after the loss to Arsenal.

Pochettino has no new major injury worries ahead of City's visit, with Bentaleb the most notable absentee and Ryan Mason remains a doubt.
