Manchester City host Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on December 3 with Pep Guardiola's side looking to send out a message to their Premier League title rivals.
City were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool last weekend, with Arsenal seizing their chance to edge above the defending champions to lead the Premier League at the start of December.
Tottenham's early-season momentum has dipped in recent weeks, with three successive Premier League losses, as Ange Postecoglou aims to balance an injury crisis in his Spurs squad.
They have won five of the most recent seven league meetings with City, though, so this could represent a surprising opportunity to get their form back on track, particularly with Guardiola's men having been involved in the Champions League in midweek.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
