Match Preview :

Manchester City will kick start this Super Sunday by welcoming Tottenham to the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City will need to show their mental strength after their midweek draw with Ajax now almost leaves them on the brink of elimination from the Champions League.

Roberto Mancini's Manchester City side have failed to reproduce their form of last season and the manager's position is under threat with speculations are that Guardiola have been lined up to replace Mancini next season been circulating around.

As it is now Manchester City are currently third in the Premiership as they trail derby rivals Manchester United by 5 points now after Sir Alex Ferguson side beat Aston Villa 3-2 yesterday.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are in sixth spot will hope to capitalise on the uncertainty at City and if thy get a win here that could move Andre Villas-Boas' team to within two points of City.

However it will no be an easy task as Tottenham were beaten by Wigan Athletic losing at home last weekend will have the difficult task of ending Manchester City's 34 game unbeaten run at home in the Premiership.

However, one man who could come back to haunt City will be former striker Emmanuel Adebayor. He could start up front for Spurs alongside Jermain Defoe after the latter scored a hat-trick against Maribor in midweek.

Right-back Micah Richards (knee) remains out and it is still not certain when midfielders David Silva and Jack Rodwell (both hamstring) will be back in the side.

Meanwhile, full-back Maicon made a comeback from a foot injury as an unused substitute against Ajax and could feature at some point in this match.

Tottenham Team News :
Tottenham midfielder Sandro will undergo a late fitness test on his calf injury to see if he can feature. Villas-Boas is likely to recall Brad Friedel in goal and Adebayor could make his first league start of the season against his former employers.
