Manchester City started their 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a 4-0 victory against Wolves at Molineux.
Now, the Citizens are gearing up to host Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad. The Spurs were also victorious in their opening Premier League fixture against Burnley.
So, how will Pep Guardiola choose his lineup for this Man City vs Tottenham fixture? Here is the Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham for their Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham – Premier League (4-3-3)
Let’s begin this Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham with the formation Pep Guardiola is likely to pick.
He used 4-3-3 in the last game against Wolves and is likely to use the same for this Man City vs Tottenham game.
In goal, Ederson will unlikely start as he could leave for Galatasaray. So, James Trafford should start after his clean sheet against Wolves.
In defence, Matheus Nunes is expected to return to the starting lineup after coming on as a substitute in the last game to replace Rico Lewis, who recently signed a new contract with City.
The two centre-backs from the last game, Ruben Dias and John Stones, are likely to keep their place for this Man City vs Tottenham game as well.
With Josko Gvardiol getting fit, Pep will have a decision to make whether to stick with Rayan Ait-Nouri or start Gvardiol. It is expected that Pep would stick to the Algerian international.
For the midfield of Manchester City, Pep will start his captain, Bernardo Silva, and the goal scorer from the previous game, Tijjani Reijnders.
Also, another goal scorer from the last game, Rayan Cherki, could get his first Premier League start for Manchester City as part of the midfield three in this game.
When it comes to the forwards, Oscar Bobb could make way for Omar Marmoush. Jeremy Doku could retain his place as Phil Foden is still out.
Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City as he did with Wolves and scored a brace for the Citizens.
Man City predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-3-3): Trafford; Nunes, Stones, Diaz, Ait-Nouri; Silva, Reijnders, Cherki; Marmoush, Haaland, Doku.
