Tottenham v Man City injury news as 8 out and 6 doubts

Both Spurs and Manchester City are sweating the fitness of key stars as AFCON and the Asian Cup rules out others.

Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Friday night after nearly two weeks away from competitive action with the tricky task of welcoming Manchester City to North London in the FA Cup.

Ange Postecoglou's side meet with the holders and treble winners but will be confident they can get a result having lost just one of their seven fixtures. Spurs last met Pep Guardiola's side in December, when a 3-3 thriller was played out at the Etihad Stadium.

The home side will be boosted by a recent injury setback to goal-machine Erling Haaland but are dealing with their own fitness worries after a busy winter period. Spurs are also without key men currently on international duty while Manchester City are one of few clubs unaffected by the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup. Here's your team news.
