Further pundit views

SPURS vs MAN CITY

BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson, a former Liverpool centre-half has given his views on this clash of the Premier League's only two unbeaten teams.

“This is a big game between the top two and I am expecting an entertaining afternoon in north London. I think John Stones will return to the centre of Manchester City's defence after the way Aleksandar Kolarov played against Celtic on Wednesday, and he might be busy. 

“Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is very impressive in the way he sets his teams up and they are definitely going to test City's back-line, especially Son Heung-min who is flying at the moment. City are not going to go to White Hart Lane and sit back, though. They clearly pose an attacking threat too and, whatever the end result, I am pretty sure there will be a few goals."

Sky Sports pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp has also given his views on the game.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how it pans out. Ultimately, I can see this ending up 2-2 – both sides have lots of attacking quality. 

“Spurs have improved since their last big game at White Hart Lane, when they were fortunate to earn a draw with Liverpool. If they can match City in that midfield area, they can get another important result on Sunday – and deny Guardiola a seventh-straight Premier League win.”
