Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has been speaking about how much he loves playing against Manchester City.
Spurs take on the Premier League champions after the international break and they will be looking to secure a second win of the season over them.
However, first and foremost, Ange Postecoglou’s team will need to put behind them the disappointment of losing to Ipswich Town in their last outing. The Lilywhites handed Ipswich their first Premier League win since 2002.
But Kulusevski is ready to ensure that Tottenham make a swift recovery and fire them to glory at the Etihad on November 23.

The 24-year-old has a great record against City and is ready to once again cause an upset at the home of the Premier League champions.
Kulusevski told Fotbollskanalen: “I love playing against City. I love facing the best players in the world. I love playing against the best teams. If you beat those teams then you know you can be there.”
The midfielder has scored in all three of his appearances at the Etihad and Tottenham will be hoping for more of the same next weekend.
