City test for Spurs’ rearguard

Tottenham

Hotspur have shown impressive durability in the Premier League lately, but they will need to be at their most steadfast to deny champions and league leaders Manchester City who travel to Wembley on Monday.

After a 2-1 home defeat by Liverpool early last month, Spurs have ground out four league wins in a row, while missing key players such as Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen. Last Saturday’s 1-0 win at West Ham United was in large part due to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. (Reuters)
