The Etihad Stadium, City's imposing home since 2003, will bear witness. With an atmosphere fortified by famously fervent home support, Tottenham face a daunting challenge. But manager Antonio Conte has imbued newfound resilience into this Spurs side. They will not travel lightly.
Kane came close to joining them last summer but remains intent on proving his worth at Tottenham. Shutting him down could define City's afternoon. Equally, neutralizing Kevin De Bruyne's midfield mastery will be imperative to Spurs' gameplan.
Out wide, Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo also pose constant threats Tottenham must negate. This bitter rivalry has cultivated some all-time classic encounters. Their frenzied Champions League battle in 2019 contained late drama aplenty.
While three points are on offer, there is far more at play here. The chance to land a psychological blow and gain bragging rights over a sworn foe makes victory especially sweet. Our coverage will bring you unrivaled pre-match analysis before this bitter clash.
