Nigeria youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho, is in line for another start for Manchester City in Sunday’s clash against second-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
The 19-year-old forward is set for another start after a 1-0 win over Sunderland last week, when he was hauled off at halftime.
City have been hit by injuries to five top attacking players – Wilfried Bony, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Kevin de Bruyne, and Jesus Navas.
“We have to treat it like a cup final and give everything we have in the game,” Iheanacho told Sky Sports News.
“They have quality players and are second in the league so we have to fight them right to the final whistle.”
City have slipped to fourth after last week’s stunning home defeat by Leicester and badly need to beat Spurs to thrust themselves back into the title race, especially as leaders Leicester go to third-placed Arsenal on the same day.
“Everyone is sad that we lost last week and we have to put that behind us and move on,” said Iheanacho. “History was made that day but it’s not in our mind.”
