Manchester City travel to Tottenham this afternoon chasing three points to keep their title hopes alive.
The Blues begin the day seven points behind Arsenal at the top of the table after the Gunners won 4-0 at Leeds United on Saturday.
City enjoyed a 2-0 win over Galatasaray in midweek to secure a straight passage into the last-16 of the Champions League and will be favourites to beat a Spurs side struggling domestically under Thomas Frank.
But Tottenham won at the Etihad earlier in the season and have a decent recent record against Pep Guardiola's side. City are still without several injured players with Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and John Stones all sidelined at the back. Savinho and Mateo Kovacic are out but Nico Gonzalez returned to action off the bench on Wednesday night.
Kick off in the capital is 4.30pm and you can follow all the build-up, action, reaction and analysis with us in our live blog so stay tuned.
