Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City is the highlight Premier League tie of the weekend and the lineups for Saturday’s mega clash at Wembley Stadium have been revealed.

The North Londoners are trotting out in their standard 4-2-3-1 formation, albeit with one notable omission.

Harry Kane leads the attack, but there’s no Heung-Min Son in the supporting cast as the Korean has been benched in the favour of Erik Lamela.

Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli reprise their regular roles while Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele shield the four-man defence of Kieran Trippier, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Ben Davies.

Skipper Hugo Lloris retains his place between the sticks.

Pep Guardiola has sent out his team in their usual 4-3-3, with Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane flanking Gabriel Jesus at the tip of the attack.

David Silva, Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne complete the midfield while Fabian Delph returns to start at left-back alongside Vincent Komany, Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker.

Ederson starts in goal for the Premier League leaders.

Spurs are the form team in the English top-flight and are slight favourites to edge Saturday’s late kick off but will have to be wary of a backlash from a wounded Manchester City side.
