Manchester City-Tottenham Preview: Spurs face a great test at Etihad Stadium.

Spurs face a tough match against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.

The Etihad Stadium has become fortress for Manuel Pellergrini this time, with scoring 20 goals in their last five continuous Premier League victories. Tottenham had a very bad start of the season,scored only nine times in the league so far and lost their home game against Newcastle. However, the coach Andre Villas-Boas side have kept clean sheets in all matches but none of their nine matches in all competitions on the road this time.

Manchester City also lost to Sunderland before the international friendlies, but is determined to be at the top half at the league tab;e. "It is a tough match, I think they are a very good team, They have good players and play a very proper football, If we want to win this match we need to continue winning at home and we need to play a ver good game,
I think this is a special Premier League this season. There are six or seven teams within four or five points. We will see what happens in the future. Finally the team that plays better football is the team that wins the league. We will see which of the six or seven teams will continue from now till the end of the season." He said to the reporters.

Pellegrini is worried about his player's who are injured, Captain Vincent Kompany and David Silvawho both are out of this match, with Stevan Jovetic also continues to be absent but Pellegrini shouldn't worry much about these players because there are also players like Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri, Joe Hart and Yaya Toure in the team.

Cristian Eriksen and Danny rose are Tottenham's only worries before this match, with a host of players returning for Villa-Boas.
