City Finding Their Best Form, Can Spurs Stop Them?

Champions Man City have been turning on the style recently and will look for more of the same as they take on Spurs

After their runaway Premier League title win last season, reigning champions Manchester City may currently be neck and neck with title rivals Liverpool, however there are positive signs that things are starting to fall into place as the Cityzens have impressed following the international break.

City have scored eight goals in two games without reply and now make their way to London to face off against Spurs just at the right time. Kevin De Bruyne made his first appearance over the weekend and will be eager to show City supporters what they've been missing.

In his absence midfield magician David Silva has been pulling the strings as City have looked they're unstoppable best. The Spaniard has scored twice this season and has set up another two and he'll be looking for more of the same in London.

Another one of City's dangerous weapons has been French left back Benjamin Mendy who has been in sterling form providing more assists for City than anyone else this season.

The swashbuckling Mendy has posed a number of problems for opposition teams and nothing but the best will have to do for them to stop the marauding fullback.

For Spurs despite making a decent start to the season with three consecutive wins, which included their big 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, they haven't looked like their old selves this season.

On Wednesday Spurs found themselves in great difficulty as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven which leaves their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.

In the league though they sit just two points off the leaders and champions City and a win on Saturday would make a huge statement as it would pull them closer to the leading pack.

To do this they'll have to overcome their recent form as despite winning their last four straight league matches, Spurs haven't been convincing in those victories as they've won most of those games with just a single goal deficit.

What's also worth noting is how they performed in their last match against a top six side as they looked fatigued and off the pace in their home loss to Liverpool and a similar showing against the champions could see them in for a long night.
