Thomas Frank and Pep Guardiola, the managers of Tottenham and Manchester City respectively, will be looking to build on their teams' strong performances. Frank will be hoping to add to his woes and help Spurs win their first two games of a Premier League season since 2021/22. Meanwhile, Guardiola will be looking to continue Manchester City's unbeaten run, which has seen them pick up more points (26) than any other team in the English top-flight.

Tottenham have a decent recent record against Manchester City, having won on two of their last four visits to the Etihad Stadium. However, Guardiola has lost nine games against Spurs in his career, including two defeats last season. This could provide motivation for the hosts ahead of Saturday's game.

Thomas Frank could make it an unwanted hat-trick for Pep by leading Spurs to a win at the Etihad. Frank will be aware that Tottenham haven't won in 11 games against non-newly promoted sides, but he will be hoping to change that trend. A win for Spurs would be a significant achievement, and would mean that Frank would become one of only three managers to win at the Etihad with two different teams.

The visitors will have to keep Erling Haaland at bay, who is looking to grab the two goals that would give him 50 in his first 49 home league games for the Cityzens. Currently, the Norwegian has an astonishing 48 home goals in 48 games, and were he to get the record, he would become only the second player to do so in Premier League history.

The match will give the home support the first chance to see all of the new signings in situ, and to witness first-hand how well they've integrated into the first-team set-up. For Tottenham, Mo Kudus has already shown how easily he has found it to complement the skill sets of his teammates, and his partnership with Richarlison paid early dividends in the Burnley fixture.

This match will be an exciting test of both teams' skills and strategies, and will give fans a chance to see how well the new signings have integrated into their teams. The outcome of the match will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for both teams' season.
