FT: Tottenham 4 - 1 Man City

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to win just their third league match of the season against Man City at White Hart lane.

The Citizens are top of the premier league with 15 points from six games while Spurs have 9 points from six games.

Both teams will worry that their main strikers; Sergio Aguero (Man City) and Harry Kane (Spurs) are yet to light up the premier league like they did last season when they finished with 27 and 22 goals in the league respectively.

City have made themselves title favorites this season already with 5 wins from six games but will have to be weary of  Harry Kane who relishes the big matches.
