Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches when they play host to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Thomas Frank’s side were held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley in the top flight last weekend, but that result was sandwiched between two 2-0 victories over German sides Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, with Spurs beating the latter on Wednesday.

Focus now shifts back to the Premier League for Tottenham, who are currently languishing in 14th place in the table, eight points above the relegation zone and eight points behind the top six.
