Minute-by-minute report: Join Scott Murray for updates as Manchester City and Spurs look to bounce back from derby defeats
“Even if we had won at Old Trafford this would be important. Last season we dropped six points against Spurs. Rico Lewis has played really well, he reads the positions, and that’s why he is selected. It’s a big responsibility, he’ll play against Son, Kulusevski, Kane, but it’s the perfect choice tonight. We have some patterns of play that we need to reignite again. The solution is not to do something that we have not done in seven years, because we have won four Premier Leagues in five years.
Julian Alvaraez makes only his second start in the Premier League for City. He’s in along with Rico Lewis, John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish. Some big stars drop to the bench: Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden. Tottenham Hotspur are also coming off the back of a derby loss, having been comprehensively beaten 2-0 by Arsenal.
Ivan Perisic, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies and Emerson Royal are back, as Clement Lenglet, Ryan Sessegnon, Pape Matar Sarr and Matt Doherty drop to the bench.
