Tottenham Hotspur (2-1-3, 9 points) is out to test the mettle of league-leading Manchester City (5-1-0, 15 points) as the two teams are scheduled to meet on Saturday for a 2015-2016 Premier League match at the White Hart Lane in London.

The Spurs have been undefeated in five games since their season-opening loss to Manchester United six weeks ago. They drew Stoke City, Leicester City, and Everton before going on a two-game winning run versus Sunderland and Crystal Palace.

South Korean hotshot Son Heung-min delivered the lone goal in Tottenham's 1-0 win over the Eagles at home last Sunday to come away with three points and move up in the overall standings, as per The Guardian.

Meanwhile, Manchester City suffered their first loss of the season in the hands of rising squad West Ham United, 1-2, at their home field of Etihad last Saturday.

Early goals by midfielder Victor Moses and striker Diafra Sakho buried the Citizens right at the first half hour of the match.

Newly acquired winger Kevin De Bruyne found the net just before halftime to settle the final count as both squads were unable to add to it in the second half, via Heavy.

The predicted result is a 3-0 Manchester City rout over Tottenham. Manuel Pellegrini's boys, particularly Raheem Sterling, is going to bounce back from the rut they have been in since their 1-2 loss to Juventus in the Champions League last week.

Tottenham starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lloris; Alderweireld, Walker, Davies, Vertonghen; Chadli, Lamela; Heung-Min, Dier, Alli; Kane

Manchester City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hart; Sagna, Kolarov, Mangala, Otamendi; De Bruyne, Sterling; Touré, Navas, Fernandinho; Agüero
