Just three points and one league position separated these two teams at the end of the 2009-10 campaign, but they were worldw apart in terms of what they achieved.•
Tottenham’s 1-0 win at Manchester City in the final week of the season secured an opportunity to claim their place among Europe’s elite for the first time in five decades. But since then, it is City who have done the buying while Tottenham will have no new faces in their ranks for the opening match of the 2010-11 season.While much of Spurs’ team will pick itself after such a strong second half of last season, City boss has decisions to make – perhaps most notably in the goalkeeping department. was expected to start the season in goal but has returned from his shoulder injury sooner than expected. Both started for their respective countries on Wednesday evening.With , , and already signed to boost the ranks the likes of have found themselves surplus to requirements. Mario Balotelli looks to be on his way but this game will come too soon for the Italian striker.City may have strengthened their squad with quality signings over the summer, but whether they will be a team and not just a group of individuals on the opening day is a different matter entirely.Tottenham can point to a cohesive team unit which is used to winning. The pace and delivery of and on the wings will prove a test for debutants Boateng and Kolarov, who are likely to fill the full-back positions for the visitors.
Spurs’ top scorer from last season has been a doubt for this game after missing the club’s final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina, as well as England’s game against Hungary, though the signs now point ot him playing a part. Defoe, who scored 18 Premier League goals in 31 starts last term, only netted four of those goals after the turn of the year but Spurs will hope he starts this season back on top form.
The Spain international failed to shine at the World Cup finals, starting only the opening defeat to Swizterland before being restricted to cameo appearances. That said, Silva – who scored for Spain in their midweek draw win Mexico – remains a quality wide player who was previously courted by city rivals United. The former Valencia wide man will not be too fatigued after his lack of action in South Africa.
Germany international Boateng played most of the World Cup at left-back for his country, but he is expected to play on the other side of the defence at City. If Bale continues in the same rejuvenated form as he did in the second half of last season, with a new-found home on the left-wing, then Boateng could face a baptism of fire in the Premier League.
