Team News: Gylfi Sigurdsson gets Tottenham Hotspur start for Manchester City visit

Gylfi Sigurdsson has been given a Tottenham Hotspur start for tonight's visit of Manchester City in the Premier League.

Spurs boss Tim Sherwood drops the 4-4-2 formation to go with just one striker in Emmanuel Adebayor, with Sigurdsson seemingly part of a playmaking trio behind the Togolese forward.

For the visitors, Alvaro Negredo can only make the bench as Edin Dzeko is chosen to support Sergio Aguero in attack.

Spurs: Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Rose; Bentaleb, Dembele; Lennon, Sigurdsson, Eriksen; Adebayor Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Capoue, Chadli, Holtby, Defoe, Soldado

Man City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy; Navas, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Silva; Aguero, Dzeko Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Nastasic, Kolarov, Rodwell, Negredo, Jovetic
