Premier League giants Manchester City and Tottenham go head-to-head in Saturday’s early kick-off, and we’ve got the latest team news and predicted lineups for the clash.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday’s Premier League action gets underway with top-of-the-table Manchester City welcoming third-place Tottenham Hotspur to the Etihad, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30.<\/p>\n Both sides will be looking to build on the victories they secured on the opening weekend. The Cityzens defeated Wolves 4-0 on the road, and Spurs cruised to a 3-0 triumph over Burnley.<\/p>\n Erling Haaland and Richarlison were the stars of the show in their respective Gameweek 1 fixtures, with the pair netting a brace apiece to go joint-top of the division’s goalscoring charts.<\/p>\n Manchester City are odds-on favourites with UK betting sites<\/a> to secure three points on Saturday, priced at around 1\/2, while the visitors are rated at around 11\/2 to pick up a shock victory.<\/p>\n As matchday and kick-off approach, we at SportsCasting\u00a0<\/em>have the latest team news and predicted lineups for the clash. Read on as we name the most probable XIs, along with providing updates on any injury or suspension concerns in both camps.<\/p>\n Pep Guardiola likes to switch things up in his lineups from one week to the next, but he’ll be without several key players for Spurs’ visit, with up to six potentially missing out through injury.<\/p>\n One of those is Mateo Kovacic, who remains sidelined with an achilles issue. According to reports, the Croatian is progressing in his recovery and should be back in contention in October.<\/p>\n Star midfielder Rodri is also set to miss out as he looks to fully recover from his ACL injury.<\/p>\n Seeing Rodri back with a smile brings joy to all of us! \ud83e\ude75<\/p>\n He\u2019s been through a tough year! \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb pic.twitter.com\/YtCJ7PW0pY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 City Chief (@City_Chief) August 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nManchester City vs Tottenham Team News and Predicted Lineups<\/h2>\n
