The third Europa League encounter of the campaign sees the joint group leaders come up against each other at White Hart Lane on Thursday night.
Villarreal were handled, eventually by City during the week to keep Manchester City’s Champions League assault on track.

Wayne Rooney is a silly boy isn’t he? If he isn’t elbowing Wigan players or screaming ‘what? F##king what?’ down the camera, he’s instead kicking Montenegrin internationals in random fits of rage.
