Manchester City will be bidding to avoid a fifth straight defeat in all competitions when they resume their Premier League campaign at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.
Pep Guardiola's side have lost each of their last four matches, including their last two in the Premier League to Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion, with the reigning champions in a very difficult period.
The Citizens still sit second in the Premier League table, but they are now five points behind leaders Liverpool, who have proven to be the best side that England have to offer thus far this season.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Tottenham, who sit 10th in the table, boasting 16 points from 11 matches.
