Manchester City beat Tottenham easily at Wembley at the end of last season and, with its wide open spaces, I think it is a stadium that suits them.

I cannot see any reason why City won't do something similar this time - especially now Kevin de Bruyne is back from injury.

City boss Pep Guardiola said his side's performance in their midweek win over Shakhtar Donetsk was the best he had seen since he has been at the club, so it would appear they are in decent form too.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Richard's prediction: We know City are rolling, we know they have got a great manager and we know they have got a great team, but Tottenham are due a wake-up - they have got a couple of players who are not hitting the form of last season, but this could be the day. 1-1

This should be a cracker! Tottenham are getting results without playing well - I thought they rode their luck against West Ham. There's a few in that squad who aren't playing to their full ability at the moment. However, look where they are in the league - they will only get better.

I think the pitch could become an issue. Modern players are not used to playing on a dodgy pitch? We were more accustom to it back in the day - I once played at the Baseball Ground and there was not one blade of grass on the pitch.

It just may suit Manchester City that little better as they have a bit more pace in their team and will not be fully reliant on pass, pass, pass.
