Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City will clash in a mouth-watering Premier League showdown on Sunday. But who will make our combined XI of the two teams?

Tottenham Hotspur will welcome the Premier League leaders to White Hart Lane on Sunday. Manchester City will travel to North London hoping to maintain their 100 percent league record. But before then, the two will compete to make up our combined XI of both teams.

Both clubs have an array of attacking talent, but also lead the way defensively as two of the top three defenses in the league. The managerial head-to-head will be one to watch, too, with Mauricio Pochettino having already beaten Pep Guardiola in La Liga.

That was in 2009. Sunday will be a very different game and a more even playing field. Spurs are of course missing Harry Kane, whilst a few other Tottenham players are slight doubts for the game. Manchester City will be missing Kevin De Bruyne and Vincent Kompany.

The game will pit the two best teams in the league up against each other. It’s also the best attack in the Premier League against the best defense in the Premier League. So, we probably know where this might be heading. A team of two halves?

Let’s take a look.
