Kickoff: 12:45


Tottenham Team News

Tottenham Hotspur's pre season was rather smooth and trouble-free, with little happening in the transfer market before the Tottenham vs Man City season opening fixture.

The main team players that guided the Tottenham reach the Champions League for the first time all have stayed at the club, with the additional signing of promising Brazilian midfielder Santos.

Queries exist, however, about the fates of certain key players, such as Peter Crouch, Ledley King, Robbie Keane and Jonathan Woodgate, all of which have been rumoured to be on the way out in recent times.

Crouch, though, may begin with Defoe for the weekend's Tottenham vs Manchester City with Redknapp having little in the way of other striking options at the current moment.

Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to begin positively with a victory against a big contender for a Champions League position.


Man City Squad News

Man City's chief issue ahead of Saturday's fixture is deciding which twenty-five of their squad will be given a shirt number to fall in the requirements with the Premier League's new team rules.

Most at risk seems to be Craig Bellamy, who is rumoured with a transfer away from from Eastlands after being told that he was surplus to requirements.

Manager Roberto Mancini will be desperate to win the season opener of his first season running the team otherwise he could find himself no longer manager.

Starting Goalkeeper Shay Given will miss the season opening match with injury.


Tottenham vs Manchester City Prediction

Tottenham Spurs won both matches against Manchester City last year, with a 3-0 score at home and by a score of 1-0 at Eastlands.

With the more settled of the two sides, history could repeat itself with a Spurs victory on Saturday.
