Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester City and Tottenham. The first-division clash scheduled for 7:45 a.m. ET will be held at Etihad Stadium in Manchester and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
Manchester City manager Mauricio Pochettino had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Sky Sports): "The reality is, I don't remember the results [Tottenham had against Manchester City last year]. This is another season, another philosophy, another game and we need to arrive on Saturday with the idea to believe in our philosophy and style and try to get the points. It's history and it's a different game, different players. It's not important now to think in the past. It's important to look forward. I don't have any concerns about these results."
"We arrive in a good moment," he added. "After our victory against Southampton, we need to keep the momentum, to reproduce the same actions and to try to get the three points."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Manchester City's Yaya Toure is questionable for today's matchup, and his ability to see the field will affect the outcome. The 31-year-old has one goal and is averaging 2.8 shots on goal per match.
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hart; Clichy, Kompany, Mangala, Zabaleta; Silva, Fernando, Toure, Milner; Aguero, Dzeko
Tottenham's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Rose, Chiriches, Kaboul, Dier; Mason, Capoue; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Adebayor
