TOTTENHAM can head top of the Premier League with a win over today’s opponents Manchester City, something manager Jose Mourinho will be absolutely pining for.
City have been a tad inconsistent this season, but what better way for Pep Guardiola to put that right than sticking it to his old foe Jose.

GOOD AFTERNOON
Welcome to our live blog of Tottenham against Manchester City in the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho celebrated a year in charge of Spurs earlier this week, and a win this evening would take his side to the top of the Premier League table.
Spurs come into the game in a great run of form, having not lost in the league since September 13th.
Harry Kane has had a blistering start to the season, scoring seven and assisting eight, and building a formidable partnership with Son Heung-Min.
Meanwhile Pep Guardiola signed a two year extension with City in the week, stating that he still has unfinished business with the Cityzens.
It’s been a somewhat indifferent start to the season for City, suffering a humiliating 5-2 home defeat to Leicester and drawing with West Ham.
City are currently tenth in the table, but a win today would take Guardiola’s side two points off the top four.
The game is a mouthwatering clash on paper, and a win for Spurs would lay down a marker that they could mount a serious title challenge this season.
In teams news Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Benjamin Mendy are out for Man City, while Nathan Ake and Raheem Sterling picked up knocks on international duty.
Meanwhile Matt Doherty is out for Spurs after testing positive for Covid-19 on international duty.
Kick off is at 5.30pm and team news will follow shortly.
