Manchester City fans have opted to ring the changes in their preferred XI vs Tottenham as they look to bounce back from the defeat to Manchester United at the weekend.
City's late defeat at Old Trafford marked back-to-back defeats for Pep Guardiola's men. More concerning than that is the fact they have had just one shot on target in the last two matches.
Guardiola will be looking to change that at the Etihad Stadium tonight and according to supporters he will be needing to make alterations to his line-up to do so. Here is how MEN Sport readers think the Blues should line up this evening.

Goalkeeper - Ederson
No surprises here as City fans choose to start their Brazilian goalkeeper over Stefan Ortega. Ederson did not really put a foot wrong in the defeat to United and Guardiola is unlikely to replace him this evening.
Defenders - Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Joao Cancelo
The big return in the City defence comes in the shape of John Stones who Guardiola confirmed has recovered from injury to be available for tonight's clash. Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo keep their places for the Blues but supporters have chosen to recall Aymeric Laporte in the centre.
This means both Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake would have to settle for a place on the bench at the Etihad.
Midfielders - Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne
After a sub-par performance against Southampton, City supporters are clear that Kalvin Phillips remains some distance behind Rodri in the race for a start in defensive midfield. Captain Ilkay Gundogan missed out against United but following an underwhelming performance at the weekend, Bernardo Silva is the one to sit on the bench this time.
Kevin De Bruyne missed some of the training this week due to personal issues but Guardiola confirmed he was back in time for Spurs and that a decision would be made close to kick-off as to whether he starts. City fans have decided that he should keep his place if in a position to do so.
Forwards - Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish was the difference-maker when he came on at the weekend and was unlucky to be on the losing side at full-time. His performance is enough to earn him a start over Phil Foden who he replaced on Saturday.
Previous form before this blip means that both Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez keep their places in the team but Julian Alvarez will be pushing both men close for a start.
