How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Manchester City

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Thursday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte will be desperate to have Rodrigo Bentancur back in the fold for Thursday's Premier League contest with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Uruguay international missed the North London derby defeat to Arsenal with the groin issue he sustained at the World Cup, although he was "very close" to making his comeback at the weekend.

Soon-to-be free agent Lucas Moura remains out with his tendon problem, but the Brazilian could therefore be the only Lilywhites absentee in this contest, and his chances of starting up front would not have been high anyway.

Dejan Kulusevski returned from injury to carry the fight to Arsenal in the second half of the derby, while Harry Kane will go in search of a record-equalling 266th goal for Tottenham to draw level with all-time top scorer Jimmy Greaves.

Son Heung-min was largely anonymous in the derby but should hold his place on the left, even with Richarlison - who is set to escape action after putting his hands in the face of Aaron Ramsdale - now fit again.

Bentancur will be sure to return over Pape Sarr if he is fit enough, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Doherty also holding their spots, but Ivan Perisic should be in contention to start over Ryan Sessegnon.

Clement Lenglet's place at the back is also under threat from Ben Davies, but Eric Dier, Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris - despite his calamitous error at the weekend - should all feature from the off once more.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
