Preview
Manchester City begins the defense of its Premier League title with a trip to Tottenham, for whom the champions’ transfer target Harry Kane could feature.
Kane was back in training with the Spurs squad on Friday and manager Nuno Espirito Santo said he would make a late decision on whether to play the striker against a team Kane is keen to join.
City could give a first start to Jack Grealish, who signed for British-record $139 million in the offseason.
