Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester City-Tottenham, the likely lineups

The second day of the Premier League, which began with Chelsea’s victory at home to West Ham in one of the many London derbies that characterize the tournament, continues on Saturday.

At 1:30 p.m. Italian time, the big-match of the round with the challenge between Manchester City and Tottenham. In Wolverhampton, among Pep Guardiola’s men, who may soon be joined by Gianluigi Donnarumma, the newcomers have been the protagonists, dragging the team to an 0-4 away win. Tijani Reijnders shone with a test made of quality and personality, crowned by a goal and an assist. Also excellent was the debut of new number 10, Ryan Cherki, who immediately sealed his first Premier League goal.

Tottenham, on the other hand, experienced a bitter start to the season: in fact, the team lost the European Super Cup to PSG on penalties after having two goals come back to take a two-goal lead. In the league, however, the debut was quite different, with a 3-0 victory over Burnley, thanks in part to Richarlison’s brace.
