Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Tottenham Hotspur new boy Pedro Porro could make his full debut for the club when the Lilywhites host Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

The former Citizens youth product completed a deadline-day switch to North London from Sporting Lisbon, despite the Portuguese club having reneged on terms - leading to a brief collapse - earlier in the week.

Tottenham have also been boosted by the returns of Richarlison and Lucas Moura, but Pape Sarr will need a once-over after missing the FA Cup win over Preston North End due to a hip injury.

The touchline will be manned by Cristian Stellini this weekend as Antonio Conte recovers from a cholecystectomy, although the latter could potentially watch on from the stands.

Hugo Lloris will return for Fraser Forster in goal, and he should be protected by a familiar back three of Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Cristian Romero, all of whom were rested at Deepdale.

Emerson Royal has upped his game in recent weeks, but Porro will no doubt be eyeing a start against his old club, with Matt Doherty and Djed Spence no longer vying for minutes in North London.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur are ready to man the engine room, while Ivan Perisic will expect to get the nod on the left-hand side over Ryan Sessegnon.

Arnaut Danjuma marked his debut at Preston with a goal, but Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min are set to retain their spots alongside Harry Kane, who needs one more goal to become Spurs' all-time leading scorer and bring up 200 in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Porro, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
