After suffering their first non-win of the season in Glasgow on Wednesday, Manchester City head to White Hart Lane trying to reaffirm their nascent stranglehold on the title race, against a solid but streaky Spurs side. Tottenham hasn't completely clicked yet, but with the best defense in the league (3 goals allowed) they've done enough to be in 2d place. Son Heung-Min's blistering form has enabled them to not feel Kane's absence too much, and if Erikssen can shake off his early struggles, they could do something big on Sunday. Still, a topsy-turvy European fixture does not a trend make, and while De Bruyne and Kompany are still a couple weeks away from returning, this is still the formidable team that's been deadly so far in the league. Sterling had another excellent game against Celtic, and with Aguero getting his health back, Spurs' defensive record will be sorely tested.
After thoroughly beating Leicester last week, United have another shot at inflicting a whipping, as they take on lowly Stoke. Mark Hughes has been high on the charts of bookmakers' favorites to be dumped, and no doubt a pasting here would not help. Leicester will try to right the ship against a revitalized Southampton, who have won 2 straight.
Sunday there's a big Serie A clash between Roma and Inter where both teams will want all 3pts if they are to keep up with Juve and Napoli.
