18th min: Harry Kane spins in behind the City defence and flashes a shot into the side-netting. Spurs work it to the left-hand side and Ben Davies clips a cross towards the far post. That was a similar effort to the one from Martin Odegaard that got past him in the derby. Harry Kane wins a 50-50 with Rodri in the box and blasts the ball at Ederson from a tight angle. Manuel Akanji can't clear a Spurs counter and City suddenly look all over the place at the back. The Etihad is very, very quiet; it certainly doesn't sound like the City fans believe in a comeback. Riyad Mahrez works his way into the box and clips a cross towards Ilkay Gundogan. Riyad Mahrez lays the ball back to Rodri and makes a run into the box. There was very little distance between the players and Richarlison had his back turned, but that was certainly a case of his arm making his body bigger. Riyad Mahrez looked to have slid Erling Haaland through on goal, but Romero stood up well and eased the striker off the ball fairly. Toying.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) They gave Spurs a taste of their own medicine with two quick-fire goals, with Mahrez at the heart of both.

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings after their 4-2 defeat at Manchester City in the Premier League on Thursday night.

Set up Perisic for a big chance in the second half that ended up being deflected on to the post. At the other end he had a big chance to score but his low show was deflected on to the left-hand post. It was his pressing that led to the first goal and his composure and pass, while getting clattered, that set the visitors away for the second. Launched an excellent cross on the run to pick out Son in the first half. Made a superb sliding tackle on the half hour mark to deny Grealish as he ran through on goal. He couldn't do much about City's second but was then beaten far too easily at his near post by Mahrez for the third.

Two teams in desperate need of a result clash at the Etihad when Manchester City host Tottenham in a midweek Premier League match.

There's no better time than this match for Haaland to get back on the scoresheet. Since shutting out Everton on October 15, Tottenham have conceded an incredible 13.66 expected goals (xG) across their last eight matches, which amounts to 1.70 xG per match. Manchester City average just 0.9 cards per game this season, doing their part as well. The Conte success story at Spurs seems to be coming undone fast, and there's nothing to show that Tottenham can either keep City from scoring or outdo them in a high-scoring affair. - Tottenham have four wins in their last six Premier League matches against Man City, including three clean sheets. — Tottenham have been beset by various injuries for weeks now, but they are slowly returning to health. Man City got some good news at training on Tuesday as both central defenders Ruben Dias and John Stones returned to the field. Dias is unlikely to slide into the starting lineup as he's been out since suffering a hamstring injury on World Cup duty, but Stones could be in contention to start. Goals are expected in this match, given Spurs have conceded in bunches, and the total has been inflated to 3.5. Given Tottenham's poor recent form, Manchester City are heavy favorites in this match at home, even if they haven't looked their best of late. A weekend defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby was extra bitter since they were dominated for much of the game by their hated rivals.
