Here is the Tottenham vs Man City preview. It features key EFL Cup information such as team news, predicted lineups & how to watch on TV.
Tottenham will host Man City in the standout fixture of this week's EFL Cup action. Ange Postecoglou will come up against Pep Guardiola for the third time as Tottenham manager. He will hope for his first win against the Spanish coach.
There has been plenty of talk in the buildup to this fixture, mainly from the opposition downplaying the seriousness of this competition. Pep Guardiola is expected to field a weakened lineup, as he will prioritise other tournaments.
It should be a great game regardless. Alas, here is the Tottenham vs Man City preview.

Tottenham team news
Son Heung-min is unavailable for Tottenham Hotspur, due to his current thigh injury. Also, Djed Spence and Wilson Odobert are not expected to be available this week.
Predicted Tottenham lineup vs Man City: Forster; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Werner, Johnson, Richarlison
Man City team news
Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Oscar Bobb and Rodri will definitely not feature for Man City.
Other than this, it is difficult to predict who Pep Guardiola will go for in the starting lineup. He will certainly play a weakened team, perhaps with the likes of Kaden Braithwaite and Nico O'Reilly, who both played in the previous EFL Cup fixture.
Predicted Man City lineup vs Tottenham: Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Braithwaite, Ake; O'Reilly; Savinho, McAtee, Gundogan, Nunes; Haaland
Tottenham vs Man City score prediction
Given all of Pep Guardiola's comments in the buildup and the fact they are missing key players, you have to favour Tottenham.
We know Man City has the best squad depth of any team in Europe, however, Tottenham should be eager to prove a point here. A narrow Tottenham 1-0 Man City scoreline is my prediction.
