The central game of the ninth round of the English Premier League will be the confrontation in the capital of Great Britain, where London's Tottenham will host Manchester City for the first time in a long time, being on the eve of a face-to-face confrontation with the “townspeople” higher in the standings.

After a hiatus for the national teams, Jose Mourinho returns to domestic affairs with a fresh right flank and without Gareth Bale in the starting lineup, who will be replaced by Stephen Bergwijn.

Of course, Jospe Guardiola also could not stay away from the rotation, therefore, Rahim Sterling, who missed international meetings, will be replaced by Riyad Marez, and Bernardo Silva will play instead of Ilkay Gundogan.

Tottenham:

Lloris - Aurier, Alderweireld, Dyer, Regilon - Sissoko, Hoybjerg - Bergwein, Ndombele, Son - Kane.

Subs: Hart, Rawdon, Davis, Lo Celso, Bale, Moura, Vinicius.

Manchester City: Ederson - Walker, Dias, Laporte, Canselo - De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva - Marez, Gabriel Jesus, Torres.

Subs: Steffen, Stones, Garcia, Gundogan, Foden, Sterling, Aguero.
