It means full-backs Gareth Bale and Alan Hutton are on the bench after[LNB]starting last week against Everton. City make one change from the side that lost to Manchester United, with Robinho out with a groin problem and winger Martin Petrov coming in.[LNB] Fancy a bet? Sky Bet go 4/5 on for a Spurs win, 5/2 the draw and 7/2 for a Man City victory. I'm going for a 2-2 draw with Elano to score first, which pays a handsome 100-1! What are your predictions for today?
