Tottenham travel to the Etihad to face league leaders Manchester City on Saturday, and Mauricio Pochettino has a number of decisions to make regarding his team selection.
As usual, the Spurs boss will rotate his full-backs, so expect to see Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies replace Serge Aurier and Danny Rose.
In midfield, I think Mousa Dembele will come back into the side. The Belgian played 90 minutes against Stoke last weekend before being rested for the Brighton game in midweek. He’ll probably replace Moussa Sissoko.
Dele Alli is also likely to come back in for Erik Lamela. Elsewhere, the the line-up will almost certainly remain unchanged.
Here’s our predicted XI to face Manchester City – what’s yours?
? A @GarethBale11 beauty
? @EricDier's rocket

Yep I agree but I’d rather see Serge and Danny Rose.
yep Rose for me
Davies and tripps for me,get dier OUT OF THERE!!! He’s been a calamity all season and everyone knows it,Nearly all the bad defensive errors have been around him,he just isn’t playing the way he was last two seasons
Without Dier, it’s either Foyth or we play a fullback as a makeshift CB. Considering how our fullbacks are naturally very attacking, Dier is the natural choice.
Dier cant play c/h he makes too many mistakes,Why Ali still gets a game is beyond me.
Trippier is not a full back cant defend and we need Toby and Wanyama back lack of
investment in the summer is costing us now.But today was a disgrace no heart just gave up.
It’s D for disaster
Dembele
Dier
Dele
not good enough. We have to strat passing the ball to each other preferably with pace and going forwards not side to side and back to Hugo, who needs to work on his kicking urgently!
