Sunday’s Premier League action concludes at White Hart Lane where Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester City.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men drew with Southampton last weekend to keep themselves in pole position in the race for a top six finish though they have won just one of their last four matches.

Ben Davies has been ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring his shoulder at St Mary’s while fellow left-back Danny Rose is also out so Vlad Chiriches is set to deputise.

PFA Young Player of the Year Harry Kane, who is one short of City’s Sergio Aguero in the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot, is 7.0 (6/1) to open the scoring with Coral, with Christian Eriksen an 11.0 (10/1) chance with Ladbrokes.

The home win is as highly priced as the 3.8 (11/4) on offer from Coral, with the visitors a 2.1 (11/10) chance with Bet Victor. The draw is widely available at 3.75 (14/5).

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won their last two games, but have been defeated in each of their last five away from home.

They will remain in second place if they avoid defeat here, but could slip to third if they fail to win with Arsenal hot on their heels in third.

The Gunners travel to Hull City on Monday evening, and began the weekend behind City on goal difference while leaders Chelsea may have already clinched the title by the time this game kicks off.

Yaya Toure will miss out after picking up a hamstring injury in last weekend’s win over Aston Villa, while Vincent Kompany and Stevan Jovetic are also missing though Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy could feature.

Top scorer Aguero is favourite to net first at 5.0 (4/1) with Coral ahead of Wilfried Bony who can be backed at 6.5 (11/2) with Paddy Power.

There have been at least four goals scored in six of the last seven meetings between these two sides, so you may be tempted to back over 3.5 to be scored this time around at a price of 2.5 (6/4) with Bet Victor.
