GameDay on talkSPORT concludes with the mammoth Premier League meeting of Manchester City and Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.
We brought you live coverage of Arsenal’s victory over Burnley and Norwich’s clash with Newcastle – but now it’s time for the main event.
Christian Eriksen returns to the starting line-up for Spurs after inspiring his side to victory from the bench against Aston Villa last weekend.
The Dane’s future is a constant source of speculation, and with two weeks remaining before the European transfer window shuts, it remains to be seen whether he will be a Tottenham player next month.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola stunned fans with the quality of his bench during the 5-0 victory at West Ham on the opening gameweek, prompting Jose Mourinho to argue that Manchester City’s B team could challenge for the title.
Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez make way for Bernardo Silva and Sergio Aguero as the hosts name another irrepressibly strong team.
Tottenham forward Heung-min Son will not feature as he completes a two-match ban for a red card received at the end of last season.
And Trevor Sinclair gives Tottenham little chance against his former side without their ‘most important player’.
“I know a lot has been said about Christian Eriksen,” he told talkSPORT.com. “But for me, he’s not the most important player for Tottenham.
“The most important player for Spurs is Heung-min Son – and he’s suspended.
“With the energy and quality he brings to the team, that’s the reason why I think Manchester City will be too strong for this Tottenham side.”
