Anticipate a classic match between Man City and Tottenham at the Etihad.
In their previous two league games, City was held to draws by Chelsea and Liverpool; on Tuesday, they had to overcome a 2-0 deficit to defeat RB Leipzig 3-2.
Ange Postecoglou will be looking for a response from his team after Spurs lost all three of their league games in November against Chelsea, Wolves, and Aston Villa.
Team news
Kevin De Bruyne and Matheus Nunes will not be available for Man City once more, but Mateo Kovacic and John Stones should be included in the matchday squad.
With James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Micky van de Ven, and Cristian Romero still suspended, Tottenham may be missing up to ten players for the trip to Manchester. However, Richarlison hopes to be added to the bench, and Yves Bissouma is back following a suspension.

Prediction
Deploying Man City, led by Pep Guardiola, against Tottenham would be a daring move as they never give up. They don’t have a great record against the north Londoners, and if they lose, it would be the first time in six years that they have lost three league games without winning.
In fact, Guardiola has dropped more games against Tottenham (six) than any other opponent since joining City. City has conceded 19 goals against the capital club in the process, and this season, their defense has appeared weak. They have only maintained five clean sheets across all competitions, and things may be considerably worse if Erling Haaland and their prolific attack hadn’t been in place.
Tottenham should pose a threat to City and is always dangerous up front, but they will be without important defender Romero, who has allowed multiple goals in nine of his ten league games. In light of this, betting on goals may be the best course of action for what promises to be a thrilling match on Sunday in Manchester.
