Premier League 19/20: Where to Watch Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Live Stream, Team News and Odds

Anyone who thought Manchester City might take its time to find its feet this season was left sorely disappointed last weekend.

The defending Premier League champions opened their campaign in style, dismantling West Ham 5-0 at the London Stadium and looking every bit as unstoppable as they did at the end of last season.

On Saturday, however, Pep Guardiola's men face an altogether more difficult test when they host Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs were the last team to beat City in all competitions, defeating it 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals in April. City won the return leg 4-3 at the Etihad but was eliminated on goal difference, after VAR canceled out Raheem Sterling's injury-time goal, which would have put City through.

The England international scored a hat-trick against West Ham and has been directly involved in six goals in his last six appearances against Spurs, scoring five and assisting one.

Sterling's form isn't the only positive omen for Guardiola. City has gone 24 matches unbeaten in the opening home league fixtures of a top-flight season, last losing at home to Southampton at the beginning of the 1989-90 campaign.

In contrast, Spurs have lost their last six Premier League away games dating back to last season and are looking to avoid losing seven in a row for the first time since 2000.

After some uncharacteristically lavish spending in the summer, there is pressure on Mauricio Pochettino to deliver trophies. Tottenham got its season off to a winning start, overcoming Aston Villa 3-1 last week, but its credentials will be seriously tested at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.

Spurs can also take solace in the fact Harry Kane seems to have got over his August malaise. The striker failed to find the net in any of his first 14 Premier League matches in August during his career, but has since scored four goals in his last three appearances in the month.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of Saturday.
