13:51 GOAL- Man City 0-1 Tottenham (Steven Caulker) ​

Who saw that coming? Steven Caulker wriggles free to meet Tom Huddlestone's right-wing free-kick and powers a header beyond Joe Hart. Could City's unbeaten run at home be under threat?​

13:55 PENALTY APPEAL Sergio Aguero turns sharply in the area and flicks the ball forward, but it strikes William Gallas's arm. Big shouts for a penalty from City, and I think they had a strong case for one.​

13:57 CLOSE! This game is warming up nicely. Tom Huddlestone drills a sweet 25-yard drive which looks to be heading in, only to swerve late and miss Joe Hart's left-hand post by a few inches.
14:00 YELLOW CARD Seconds later, Pablo Zabaleta is booked for a tackle on Emmanuel Adebayor. That battle is definitely one to watch.
14:19 HALF-TIME - Manchester City 0-1 Tottenham
14:46 SUBSTITUTION - Maicon for Matija Nastasic (Man City) Taxi?
Gareth Bale might just be licking his lips here. Remember the San Siro? I suspect Maicon does, and the two are now in direct competition on the Spurs left flank.
14:53 GOAL - Manchester City 1-1 Tottenham (Sergio Aguero)
A touch of class from Sergio Aguero to draw City level. The ball breaks to him from Yaya Toure on the right-hand side of the box and the Argentine takes his time, turns inside and coolly psses the ball beyond Brad Friedel. Fine goal.
15:01 SUBSTITUTION - Edin Dzeko for Carlos Tevez (Man City)
15:05 YELLOW CARD - Emmanuel Adebayor (Spurs) Referee Michael Oliver comes back to book the striker for that challenge. It was clumsy but I don't think there was any great menace in the challenge.
15:06 SUBSTITUTION - Michael Dawson for Kyle Walker
15: 12? SUBSTITUTION - Defoe for Ade
15:15 SUBSTITUTION - Kyle Naughton for Aaron Lennon
15:17 GOAL - Manchester City 2-1 Tottenham (Dzeko)
What was that about a test of character? Edin Dzeko lashes the ball beyond Brad Friedel following a chipped David Silva pass for his seventh goal of the season - his sixth when coming on as a substitute. After the events at White Hart Lane last season, Spurs fans must hate the sight of the striker.

Anyone know the latest on Dembele? been very quite about him unless I missed it.

 

[chrissivad]

He hasnt had the surgery so they hope he will be back in a few weeks

I think it's still a bad hip that they want to rest not operate on, but who knows for definite? AVB is a lot more secretive in his interviews, the complete opposite of Redknapp - I quite like that he keeps injuries quiet so the opposition dont know the exact players until 1 hour before kick off, but part of me needs to know who plays for my dream team...

Yeah but let's not forget that Redknapp was a grade A bullshitter and fed a lot of bollocks to the press.

Dembele's injury worries me. Hips tend to be niggling injuries that crop up from time to time.

[Hot-Spur]

I sense there will be alot of rage on here when we'll probably see yet again Ade and Lloris on the bench.

There'd be a lot of rage even if they did start

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

haha can't believe he dropped Defoe but Lloris come on!

Still would of preferred to have seen 4-4-2 Dempsey is so useless so far. Here's his chance to play with a big target man so let's see!

 

[mpickard2087]

Huddlestone and Dempsey
