After Manchester City’s 4-0 loss at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium last season, the hosts have a chance to seek revenge for their dismal defeat on Saturday.
Both sides have kickstarted their respective Premier League campaigns in style, with Pep Guardiola’s men beating Wolves 4-0 and Spurs cruising past Burnley 3-0 on Sunday.
With Son Heung-min joining LA FC, Manchester City’s camp have every reason to breathe a sigh of relief ahead of the fixture — considering the former Tottenham skipper registered eight goals and five assists in 21 games against the Sky Blues.
The upcoming contest between the two sides could be a potential blockbuster affair, considering Tottenham have launched a bid to sign Savinho worth £69 million ahead of the clash.
