"With it being international break it's the perfect time to profile our very own Guglielmo Vicario who currently is on international duty with Italy. Italy has produced some top keepers over the years and 'Venom' Vicario is another one who can be added to the list. Vicario is big (6'4/194 cm) giving him a commanding presence.

He makes Romero esque runs into the opposition half riding challenges from opposition players and using clever link up play to further progress the ball up the pitch. He's incredibly dominant in the build up phase offering himself up constantly and almost dictating play from there at times.

"Luka is also multifaceted in that he can play as both an LCB and an RCB effectively he's in the class of CBs that I'd call a "highline leader". Think of a Van Dijk Araujo or Saliba. A CB who is able to defend the channels and prevents counter attacks single handedly through their anticipation. This also requires immense amounts of recovery ability which is another thing about Luka he's deceptively quick for a player of his size.

Spurs will be once again facing a low block where the space is likely to come in the wide areas with the middle being heavily congested. Vliz excels in finding space where there isnt any occupying centre backs being constantly on the move and composure in front of goal. While his aerial ability is also fantastic.

"Whilst Sunday was the first time that Ange Postecoglou has played the 23-year-old inside as one of his advanced 8s this season Kulusevski's impressive performance in midfield should come as no surprise with his many of his physical attributes making him a good fit for the role"

"One of my favourite qualities of Kulusevski is his strength + the use of his body to protect + progress the ball reminiscent of former Spurs favourite Mousa Dembl who himself started as an advanced midfielder before moving into the deeper role we associate him with at Spurs"

"Spot on this. Onana is a miles better technical footballer than Vicario. However Vicarios mentality instills calmness through the whole team whereas Onana is too much the main characater"

"We will undoubtedly hear shouts of tactically naive and they have no plan B if we lose again. Theres a case for it I wont deny that. The bigger picture matters though. Continuing to believe in the system at all costs now will instil confidence long-term"

"It is also the best way to take on Manchester City now. They are conceding chances and goals in transition far more frequently than in previous seasons. Teams that have had success against City recently include Chelsea RB Leipzig Wolves and Arsenal. All aggressive pressing teams. Success used very lightly here in some cases its just scoring goals"

"They dont always play direct the first time it was really on show was in their 4-1 domination over Arsenal last year. Its an approach theyve leaned on more regularly since against high pressing teams. If its Davies-Royal again Pep would be an idiot not to use it"

"I may be a lone voice here but theres a case for starting Dier in this game. Hes the only available player who could compete with Haaland aerially. City are also one of the best in the league at scoring from Set Pieces something our smaller defence struggled with vs Villa"

"A similar approach at times may be needed here. Especially if we find ourselves ahead in the game. Game state matters and if a team goes behind theyre more prone to disorganised pressing (e.g. individuals pressing alone). The greater the risk the bigger the reward"

"Finally Im aware that myself and other analysts are guilty of analysing based on starting XIs and [--] settled tactic. This isnt the reality of football and definitely not the reality of playing Pep Guardiolas Manchester City"

"Reacting to their evolving game plan will be key too. If they are regularly threatening with the long ball bring on Dier. Dont let Doku run riot make subs to support Porro and give him a license to attack. Itll be Anges biggest test yet of his in-game management"

"The one thing we can be sure of it wont be a dull game. Like against Villa I see a strong team performance being let down by individual errors and moments of brilliance. 4-2 to Manchester City is the Lilywhite Labs prediction. Bleak I know but the good times are coming"

"Half time thoughts: - Kulusevski the shining light. Brilliant both in and out of possession. - Bissouma offering absolutely nothing. Sleeping in transitions not protecting that back [--]. Lax in possession. - Porro doing ok to cope with Doku but hell need help from Johnson throughout. - In possession full backs playing so high almost as 10s. High risk high reward but our CBs dont have the quality to advance and Biss isnt on it so just not getting through. - If I see Emerson wait for the ball rather than meeting it one more time Ill lose my head. - Son and Johnson look sharp when theyve had a"

"Deal looks like its getting closer. Big fan of this move for a HG option. Id definitely offload Solomon and Perisic if this happens. Will have a video out if a deal gets done"

"This makes it hard to know which version of West Ham will turn up on Thursday although with it being a rivalry you can expect them to be at their battling best and at their best this season they have beaten Chelsea and Brighton and have drawn against Newcastle"
