femi ogunbodede: Something on the grass in White Hart Lane, tripping people. Call 911.

I've watched a few replays of that Aguero penalty incident - and I'm still unsure. One angle seems to show that Aguero was clipped by Fazio, but it appears the City striker tripped himself from another. No yellow card for diving either though.

Well, well, well - should Manchester City be preparing to take a penalty? Sergio Aguero thinks so. Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris has a rush of blood to the head, charging out of his area to meet Pablo Zabaleta's punt - but the Frenchman gets it wrong. Badly.

Aguero, with the goal gaping, races through on to the loose ball and goes down after seemingly being clipped by Spurs last man Fazio. Referee Andre Marriner is not impressed and waves play on.

City enjoy another spell of pressure as James Milner and Frank Lampard combine in an attempt to pick a hole in the Spurs defence. But the home side win back possession through Nacer Chadli's superb sliding challenge.

"Kane has had exceptional season but don't be surprised if he doesn't do as well next season. The important thing is he has established himself and is a humble guy and proved he can cope at this level."

Another half-chance for Harry Kane as he flings himself at Eric Dier's high swirling cross inside the City box. Kane can't keep the ball down though - but as he climbs to his feet he sees the linesman's flag whistling in the White Hart Lane wind anyway.

It won't surprise you to learn that Harry Kane is brimming with confidence. The England striker pounces on a quick throw-in to try his luck from distance, but it veers well away from Joe Hart's goal. Ambitious.

fqiren: The first five minutes of this game is already much more exciting than the entire Chelsea game. Boring.

After that sluggish start, Manchester City are warming to their task now. James Milner's low cross from the right byeline is saved by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris, before Frank Lampard's half volley sails over the bar. The Spurs fans enjoyed that one from the ex-West Ham man.

"Duck! People behind the goal were in mortal danger there. Boy, did Aguero strike that."

Finally Manchester City show some life. The visitors win a couple of corners in quick succession with Spurs failing to fully clear the second as Aleksandar Kolarov whips in a left-wing cross to Sergio Aguero. He thumps a vicious volley towards the Spurs goal, which flashes past Hugo Lloris's eyes and out for a goal kick.

Not Pablo Zabaleta's finest few moments in a Manchester City shirt. Harry Kane hustles the Argentine close to the left touchline, setting up a sniff of another Spurs attack. However, City regroup to snuff out the danger.

Tottenham finally allow the visitors to have a moment on the ball, only at the back though, as Martin Demichelis looks to bring the ball out of defence. The Argentine finds compatriot Pablo Zabaleta, but his wayward touch gifts a throw-in to Spurs. That pretty much sums up City's start.

City keeper Joe Hart went loco on his defence after that Harry Kane chance - and rightly so. Still Tottenham hog the ball, pushing it around at that high-tempo demanded by boss Mauricio Pochettino.

"Tottenham have started fast, they are pressing hard. City need to get Silva on the ball, he has the ability to take the pace out of this start of Tottenham's."

Tottenham could have scored three goals already! Their latest chance comes courtesy of another City defensive error, Harry Kane needing no second invitation to pounce on Eliaquim Mangala's dilly-dallying, only to lash a fierce drive past the left-hand post.

What a chance! Sloppy City marking allows Eric Dier to have a free header - a defence's cardinal sin - but the Spurs defender can only plant his effort wide of the far post from 10 yards. You've got to be hitting the target there!

Tottenham are straight on to the front foot as City make a sloppy start. Nacer Chadli is allowed space down the left flank, forcing City left-back Aleksandr Kolarov to race across from his flank to cut out the cross. Corner...

Quick reminder of the teams you say? Here you go....

Spurs: Lloris, Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Rose, Mason, Bentaleb, Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli, Kane.

City: Hart, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Mangala, Kolarov, Fernando, Fernandinho, Milner, Lampard, Silva, Aguero.

Referee Andre Marriner does a quick head count, starts his watch and toots his whistle. Game on!
