Spurs vs man city - Line Up: Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City

Soon after Cancelo's miss, Sterling darted into the box, teeing up Ilkay Gundogan to ratchet a shot against the post.

And that was compounded two minutes into the second period when German midfielder Gundogan missed a gilt-edged chance, firing over from six yards after Sterling had laid the ball into his path and Aguero's initial effort was cleared off the line by Alderweireld.

Jurgen Klopp's team are just six points off the reigning champions following Saturday's results, and have a game in hand over the leaders.

That should see a far from first-choice lineup this weekend, with the young duo of Samuel Edozie and Cole Palmer potentially pushing for a start, particularly with both Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne currently out of action through injury.
