Spurs hope to sting Man City prospects

THE Premier League’s only unbeaten records will go on the line tomorrow night, with Tottenham hoping to follow Celtic’s lead and inflict another dent in Manchester City’s superb start to the campaign.

Having won every competitive game they had played this season, the City juggernaut was finally slowed this week when they were held to a surprise 3-3 draw with Celtic in the Champions League.

That result, and the way the Scottish side exposed chinks in City’s defensive armour, will have given Tottenham encouragement before England’s top two clash at White Hart Lane.

Both sides will be without key players for the clash.

Harry Kane, Spurs’ top scorer for the past two seasons, is expected to be out for at least another month after suffering ankle ligament damage against Sunderland on September 18, although Son Heung-min’s stunning form has ensured they have not missed him as much as fans feared.

The South Korean scored his fifth goal in five games in Spurs’ 1-0 win in Moscow.

“He is on fire,” Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said.

“To keep this form is very important for us.”

City, four points clear of their opponents and out to avenge their double defeat to Spurs in the league last season, will also be without Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne, who were injured in last Saturday’s 3-1 Premier League win over Swansea City.

Arsenal, who are third, and Liverpool (fourth) will both expect to maintain their challenges away to struggling sides.
