Tottenham vs Manchester City probable line-ups: Guardiola receives double injury blow, Kane could start
Tottenham and Manchester City round off their pre-season US tour with a final International Championship Cup clash.
Kyle Walker, who left Spurs for City in a £50 million deal this summer could end up facing his former side.
City were hoping to have Ilkay Gundogan get some playing time over the US trip but he has yet to feature and could actually end up missing the start of the season.
Gundogan revealed that it may take two to six weeks for him to be ready for action in a recent interview with BBC Sport.

The midfielder of Turkish origin said: “It is really hard always to fall and fight your way back. You feel good and feel ready, then you get the next kick.
“The worst part is behind me now. I want to feel ready when I am fully back. I want to feel safe and confident. I don’t mind if it is two weeks or six.”
Summer signing Benjamin Mendy could also miss the start of the Premier League season due to injury.
Bernardo Silva and Claudio Bravo have been given an extended break after playing at the Confederations Cup, while Galatasaray target Fernando, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfried Bony and Fabian Delph did not make the trip.
Tottenham meanwhile are without Heung-Min Son, Danny Rose, Erik Lamela and Moussa Sissoko, all of whom are injured.
Star striker Harry Kane is available and could start upfront.
