Man City v Tottenham (Sat, 17:30 GMT)
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has spoken about Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match ban from the Football Assocation.
The Uruguay midfielder was suspended following a racial slur made about Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min earlier this season.
"It's obviously disappointing because he's been great for us this year," Postecoglou told Sky Sports News.
"He's been one of the ones who certainly his football has gone up another level, but we understood that this was kind of coming and I support the club's decision to appeal the severity of the ban.
"Ultimately, we know it is going to be for X number of games. We will work with Rodrigo through that and make sure in that time, he has all of our support in the right way so that when's he available again, he's ready."
