Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester City on Sunday, aiming for their first Premier League win of 2026.
The team is currently struggling, having not won any of their last five league matches (D3 L2). Manager Thomas Frank is looking for a strong response against the strong visitors, especially as he holds the record for the lowest home points-per-game rate (0.82) of any Spurs manager in Premier League history.
While their success in the Champions League has been a positive, Tottenham needs to refocus on their league performance to avoid slipping closer to the relegation zone. A win would also mark their tenth Premier League double over City.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Thomas Frank’s squad is gradually welcoming back key attacking players. Dominic Solanke is set to start his first Premier League match in six months after scoring in the midweek European win. A late decision is pending on Micky van de Ven, who is a doubt after missing the trip to Germany. The manager will rely on Yves Bissouma and Conor Gallagher to energize the team.
Guglielmo Vicario will be in goal, with Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie potentially covering the wide defensive positions. In midfield, Joao Palhinha is expected to play alongside Gallagher. Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert will provide creativity behind Solanke, while Mathys Tel is pushing for a start on the wing. The team is without several senior players, including James Maddison, Pedro Porro, and Mohammed Kudus, putting extra responsibility on the younger players.
