The weekend action in the Premier League concludes with a headline clash between title chasers Manchester City and a Tottenham side looking to push back into the top four.

Nine points separates the two sides ahead of their clash in north London and the hosts will be without their manager Antonio Conte as he recovers from an operation.

These two teams faced off just two weeks ago, when City came back from 2-0 down in the second half to win 4-2, Riyad Mahrez striking twice.

Since then Spurs have notched back-to-back wins, against Fulham and Preston North End in the league and FA Cup respectively, while City beat Wolves and Arsenal in the same competitions.

Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

Team news

Lucas Moura is available again for Spurs, but is not on the bench for this one. Hos compatriot Richarlison is among the substitutes after missing the FA Cup win at Preston with a minor problem.

Deadline day signing Pedro Porro, who joined Tottenham from Sporting CP, is also on the bench as Emerson Royal starts at right wing-back.

Manager Antonio Conte is absent after having his gall bladder removed earlier this week.

The big last-gasp transfer news for City was the surprise departure of Joao Cancelo to Bayern Munich and he wasn’t replaced thanks to the impressive recent form of youngster Rico Lewis.

John Stones is sidelined, while Phil Foden misses out with an ankle injury. Kevin De Bruyne starts on the bench.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Royal, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Ake, Akanji, Walker; Lewis, Rodri, Silva, Mahrez; Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
