Tottenham Hotspur are targeting a fifth successive Premier League victory as they host unbeaten leaders Manchester City.

Team news

Spurs have midfielder Dele Alli (hamstring) available again.

Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) and Danny Rose (groin) are continuing to make progress but remain absent.

Man City's Ilkay Gundogan is still doubtful with a groin problem, while Danilo (ankle) is likely to be missing. Fabian Delph has returned to contention. Claudio Bravo (Achilles) is a long-term absentee. 

Did you know?

Tottenham Hotspur have lost only two of their last 21 PL matches at Wembley (W15 D4 L2), but one of those defeats came against Man City in April.

Spurs' Erik Lamela has been directly involved in four goals in five PL matches this season, with three goals and one assist. It is the same total he registered in 25 fixtures last term, when he contributed two goals and two assists.

Man City are unbeaten in six PL away matches in London (W5 D1) and have won the last four in a row. They could now become the first non-London side to win five consecutive PL matches in the capital.

Pep Guardiola has only lost two of his last 13 managerial clashes with Mauricio Pochettino (W7 D4 L2). He could now win three in a row against the Argentinian for the first time.
