Kieran Trippier and Moussa Sissoko vs Raheem Sterling and David SilvaAnyone who has watched Spurs this season will know they are weak at right-back, so much so that Sissoko has been employed as the England stars minder.When the ball goes toward Trippiers area of the pitch youre likely to see Sissoko quickly head off to help him out.5

Trippier argues with Sissoko and Eric Dier against Barcelona.

In the Premier League game at Wembley, Sterling took advantage by attacking his early and Man City were rewarded with their game-winning goal.If Sterling and Silva can combine at Tottenhams new stadium then Spurs may well have some big problems.Heung-Min Son vs DaniloWith Kyle Walker possibly absent after picking up an injury in Man Citys FA Cup semi-final win, Son could be relishing a run at Brazil international Danilo.The ex-Real Madrid ace is hardly an amateur but against the South Korean star he will face a tough ask.5

Can Danilo cope, if he plays?

If Son plays in two with Harry Kane, then Danilo will have to watch his opponents moves in then half-space and his intricate passing with his team-mates, while if he plays in a front-three then hell need to be aware of his dribbling and trickery.Any loss of concentration could result in a goal, which may have Pep Guardiola fearful.Moussa Sissoko vs FernandinhoThe Frenchman could have a big evening at the new White Hart Lane.In the Premier League fixture between the two sides earlier this season he was tasked with battling for long balls up against Fernandinho.5

Fernandinho is a key man in the City midfield.

Spurs appeared to feel they could hustle for the second ball and at the same time have the Brazilian midfielder taken out of the picture, allowing them to get at the defence quickly.Pochettino could try a similar move again, while we wouldnt put it past the Argentine from forcing Kane to play slightly deeper to be the principle winner in any of these situations.Ederson vs Davinson SanchezIn the event the Colombian centre-back starts, one of the more surprising battles may be between these two.Edersons exceptional long passes for Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling cause problems for most defences but with Sanchez still struggling aerially he could well be targeted by Pep Guardiola.5

Will Sanchez cope in the air?

A ball dropping in behind the ex-Ajax man could cause a panic with City players swarming him, while if he can get his head on it, it wont go far, allowing the visitors possession in key areas.Keep an eye out for this.
