Manchester City travel to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
Manchester City resume their Premier League campaign this afternoon at Tottenham. The Blues beat Galatasaray in midweek in the Champions League to secure a straight passage into the last-16.
That 2-0 Etihad victory meant Pep Guardiola's side bypassed the play-off round and an extra two fixtures this month. City turn their attention to domestic matters today seeking to keep pace with Arsenal at the top of the table.
The Blues will make changes from midweek with several players missing from Wednesday's win. Gianluigi Donnaruma will continue in goal and Nico O'Reilly could revert to left back despite impressing in midfield against Galatasaray.

Marc Guehi was ineligible in midweek and will come back into the XI with Abdukodir Khusanov set to partner him. Matheus Nunes will be at right back.
Rodri, suspended for the European encounter, is likely to return and while Nico Gonzalez came off the bench in the win over the Turkish Super Lig outfit, it could be too soon for him to go back into the XI so Tijjani Reijnders could get the nod with Bernardo Silva completing the midfield trio.
Phil Foden is out of form so Rayan Cherki could start in the number 10 role behind Erling Haaland. Antoine Semenyo will surely play with the January signing another who couldn't feature in Europe.
Speaking about the test of facing a struggling Spurs, City assistant boss Pep Lijnders said: "They are quite clear in their plan, Thomas sets them up in a clear way so they can link inside to attack, they can play the ball in behind as well.
"High pressing team, man marking, above everything a good set-piece team so we are really looking forward to this game. We have really concentrate on how we want to play for 95 minutes, to show our mentality and our way and we look forward to go there."
