Manchester City will hope to build upon their opening day victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend.
Pep Guardiola's side showcased their early title credentials with a sumptuous away win on the opening weekend, but face a much tougher test at home to arguably their greatest bogey side in recent years. Tottenham Hotspur also got off to a winning start under new head coach Thomas Frank and will look to make a statement with an impressive performance against City.
Rodri and Phil Foden both missed the opening day win due to injury, while Ederson was left out amid uncertainty over his future at the club. Mateo Kovacic, Savinho and Claudio Echeverri were also absent from the win at Wolves.
Here is how we think City should line up when they host Spurs on Saturday evening.
Trafford impressed on his competitive debut and should keep his place in goal this weekend.
