LEAGUE champions Manchester City face a tricky fixture as they continue their pursuit of a third straight Premiership title when Tottenham Hotspur visit their Etihad Stadium today.
Even in these embryonic stages of the new season, great needle is anticipated as these two top-six clubs clash in the match of the weekend. A triumph for either will go nowhere near securing the Premier League title, but would certainly help keep the other contenders in check, particularly Liverpool and Manchester United, who like City, started the season with emphatic victories.
