Prediction

City will try to dominate the ball, and will almost certainly succeed, leaving Spurs to try and make hay on the counter, which against the likes of Nicolas Otamendi might not be the worst thing.

The return of Kevin De Bruyne makes City a more direct threat as his near-perfect assist for Gabriel Jesus in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton showed.

Speaking of Jesus, the choice over whether to risk Sergio Aguero will loom large also and will likely have a sizeable bearing on how this first leg plays out.

Expect both teams to score in an open game with the visitors heading back to the Etihad with what could prove the crucial away goal

Tottenham 1-1 Manchester City
