High-flying Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this weekend by welcoming Manchester City to North London on Saturday afternoon.
Jose Mourinho's side have picked up 13 of the last 15 points available to them in the top flight, a run of form which has seen them climb up to second in the table after eight games.
Spurs' title credentials are sure to face a stern test in the upcoming weeks with a difficult run of fixtures, though, starting with the visit of a Manchester City side that had begun to find their form prior to the international break.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
