Tottenham Hotspur will attempt to bounce back from their dramatic FA Cup defeat at Everton when they make the journey to the Etihad Stadium to take on Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday evening.
Jose Mourinho's side had ended their winless run at the weekend by beating West Bromwich Albion, but the Portuguese boss witnessed his side come up short again as Everton edged a nine-goal thriller 5-4 in extra time on Wednesday night.
One piece of silverware has now passed Tottenham by this season, and any talk of a Premier League title challenge has evaporated in recent weeks, with Spurs eighth in the table and 14 points behind Saturday's opponents Man City.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Gareth Bale's underwhelming return to Tottenham continued in midweek as he missed out the defeat to Everton due to some muscular discomfort. Mourinho reported that the Welshman chose to work with the club's sport scientists in order to overcome the problem, but it would be a surprise to see him start this game even if fully fit.
