Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester City return to action on Friday evening when they square off against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fourth round.

Pep Guardiola's side have been without a fixture since they recorded a dramatic 3-2 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League on January 13.

Since then, City have spent time training in the Middle East ahead of their next batch of fixtures, but the likelihood is that they will still be without a number of key players for their trip to the capital.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of a showdown with Spurs, who held them to a 3-3 draw in their most recent outing last month.

Manuel Akanji had to be substituted in the early stages of the clash with Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup on January 7 due to a knee problem. Guardiola has previously insisted that it will take "a few weeks" to recover, with the indication being that this game will come too soon.

Man City have no suspended players for this match.
