Tottenham Hotspur face arguably English football's toughest test in just their second match of the new season on Saturday when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The champions were imperious on the opening day as they thrashed West Ham United 5-0, whereas Spurs left it late to avoid a scare against newly-promoted Aston Villa.
A goal from debutant Tanguy Ndombele and brace from Harry Kane ultimately saw them pick up a deserved victory, though, and they will now be looking to prove their title credentials against the team most expect to set the pace once again.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR'S SUSPENSION LIST

Son Heung-min's red card against Bournemouth in the penultimate game of last season ensures that he has missed the start of this term, although Saturday is the final game of his three-match ban.
