Sports Mole looks at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up in Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to have Eric Dier back in their starting XI for Saturday's Premier League contest with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Dier has recently been unavailable for selection due to a thigh problem, but the 28-year-old is back in first-team training and should be fit to make his return in Manchester this weekend.

Japhet Tanganga will miss the match with a knee problem, though, while Oliver Skipp is also out, with the midfielder struggling to overcome a groin problem.

Head coach Antonio Conte is expected to make changes to the side that started the 2-0 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out.

Indeed, Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon could return in the wing-back positions, while Dier is likely to take the place of Davinson Sanchez in a back three.

There could also be a recall for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with the Denmark international potentially taking the place of Harry Winks in the middle of the park.

Dejan Kulusevski and Steven Bergwijn are options for change in the final third of the field, but Lucas Moura should keep his spot in attack alongside Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Son
