When Tottenham host Manchester City in the Premier League this Saturday evening, it not only represents a mouth-watering tussle between two of England's 'Big Six' but also a fascinating managerial battle between two old foes.
Along with Liverpool's clash against early table-toppers Leicester, Tottenham playing host to City the day before represents the stand-out fixture of the weekend's Premier League action.
And the top-flight encounter, which follows a fortnight of international football, in north London is set up perfectly for more than one reason.
