How Man City should line up vs Tottenham in Premier League at Etihad

Manchester City could make changes to the side that beat Sporting in the Champions League this week when they welcome Tottenham to the Etihad in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola will welcome at least one player back as Kyle Walker is available again after his suspension in Europe, but he couldn't guarantee any of his other absent players from midweek would be ready.
