Alan Shearer scored his 260th and final Premier League goal for Newcastle against Sunderland on 17 April 2006.

In the 13 years since, no player has come within 50 goals of this record tally for the competition.

But there are currently a small crop of attacking players with aspirations of claiming Shearer's crown, led by Sergio Aguero and including established goalscorers such as Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Mohamed Salah.

Click here as BBC Sport does the analysis to see if any of these players are capable of breaking the record and, if so, what more they have to do to surpass one of the Premier League's most iconic milestones.

Wednesday night's epic was fought out under the lights.... today's sequel will be settled in scorching sunshine and under a bright blue sky.

Yes, it's cracking the flags in Manchester today. The perfect weather if you are in City's Tunnel Club, and can loiter on the touchline in the build-up to kick-off watching Pep Guardiola's side warm up.

Former Tottenham midfielder Gus Poyet: "I'm a believer you become a legend of a club when you win something. It's very difficult to win something.

"I think this group of Spurs players deserve to win something. At the end of the day you have to win something.

"They should go to this new level and they have everything to do it with."

Matt: Manchester derby in September 2009. United take the lead 3 times, City equalise 3 times (including in the 90th minute) then United snatch it beyond added time.

Surely Manchester City won't be as open in this game as they were on Wednesday night - they cannot afford to invite any more chaos this time.

I would expect Fernandinho to start on Saturday and, if he is patrolling those deep midfield areas, I think City will control the game this time far better than they did in midweek.

Prediction: 2-0

Pep Guardiola does not miss a trick. Every player has a responsibility with or without the ball in whatever quadrant the ball is in. That's the devil of the detail that he goes into.

Being brutally honest I thought Benjamin Mendy was a little bit off on Wednesday probably because he is a bit rusty coming back from injury.

He was one player that needed to be really focused. Players like David Silva and Ilkay Gundogan don't need that [instruction from the side] but someone like Mendy probably still does.

It is almost like a stage show watching managers like Pep, Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino because they are so animated on the side.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports:

"I've seen the players in the training sessions and the quality they have.

"I cannot look into the minds of my players if they have forgot about Wednesday it is good if it still hurts that is good as well. It is past and we are trying to do an incredible season in the league."

On what he expects from Phil Foden:

"What he is. No more than that. What he has done every time he plays and in every training session. No more than that. Nothing special."

The Kevin De Bruyne situation is perfect. He has not had many minutes this season and wants as many minutes as possible. He has probably asked the manager to play again.

He wants to show he can perform until the end of the season. They are two strong sides.

Spurs are overloading at the back, making five changes from the Champions League game in midweek. Davinson Sanchez, Juan Foyth and Ben Davies join the defensive ranks while goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris is replaced by Paulo Gazzaniga.

There's also a recall for Eric Dier in central midfield.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Moura, Eriksen, Alli, Son.

Subs: Vorm, Rose, Janssen, Wanyama, Walker-Peters, Llorente, Skipp.

Tim Ricketts: 21st March 1984 went to see Man U v Barcelona at Old Trafford in Euro CWC QF in my final year at Manchester Uni. Barca side with Maradona et al Utd had to win by 3 goals after going down 0-2 in the first leg and won 3-0. Graeme Hogg marked Maradona out of the game.

The rest of the top six aren't in action today, with Liverpool hosting Cardiff City, Manchester United visiting Everton and Arsenal playing Crystal Palace on Sunday, before Chelsea face Burnley on Monday.

Manchester City will come out and want to prove to themselves that they can get one over Spurs.

On the Spurs side of the fence they will ask if we can do it again? And how good are we? Can we back it up?

I’ve never seen players play at that intensity for so long, with quality, energy and organisation. Every single player that went over the white line was outstanding. That’s the quality of the Premier League.
