Happy Spursday, Spursland!
Gareth Bale returns to the lineup for Tottenham Hotspur and the now fit Jermaine Defoe has a place on the bench. Unfortunately, Aaron Lennon did not make the squad today nor did Tom Carroll. Clint Dempsey and Gylfi Sigurdsson stay in the team following their fine runs of form. Finally, Benoit Assou-Ekotto starts at left back.
Here is our line-up vs City: Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Dempsey, Dembele, Parker, Sigurdsson; Bale, Adebayor.

For City, Roberto Mancini starts Edin Dzeko, who score four goals in City's last visit to White Hart Lane, while Sergio Aguero is on the bench. James Milner is in the lineup today, presumably he'll be shadowing Gareth Bale wherever he goes. David Silva, who missed City's FA Cup semifinal match, it still not fit enough to feature.
