Manchester City vs Tottenham – 5 Players To Watch Out For

Manchester City will hope to extend their lead at the summit of the Premier League table when they face Tottenham Hotspur today. The Sky Blues are well ahead of Liverpool in the race for the title as they lead the Reds by nine points.

Tottenham, on the other hand, are in the race to secure a UEFA Champions League spot but are in a dire run of form. The Lillywhites have three games in hand over fourth-place side Manchester United, and a win on Saturday will be crucial as they need a positive result after three back to back defeats.

Spurs and City faced off each other back in August, in the first match of their respective campaigns. The North Londoners won by a narrow 1-0 margin but things have changed since then. Following a slow start, City have managed to dominate the proceedings while Spurs have gradually slipped down the table.

It is likely that Manchester City will dominate the proceedings and Spurs will look to attack on the break.

Let us have a look at the five players who could decide the outcome of the tie.

#1 Harry Kane

Previously linked with a move to Manchester City, Kane still has all the makings of a world-class striker. After enduring a slow start to the season, he has found his rhythm in the past few weeks.

He can play as the perfect ‘target man’ and is a contributing force when it comes to the buildup as well. Even though Kane has not looked at his best this season, there is no doubt about the quality and goal-threat he brings to the table. A sublime finisher in the box; if Spurs are to cause an upset, Kane will have to come good for them.

He has scored five goals and has assisted twice this season for Spurs. Will he be able to add on to his tally?
