Tottenham Hotspur's Eric Dier: 'We can fight Manchester City toe to toe'

Tottenham Hotspur's Eric Dier insists that he and his teammates do not fear Manchester City ahead of Saturday's showdown.

Eric Dier has insisted that he and his Tottenham Hotspur teammates will not head into this weekend's clash against Manchester City feeling dwarfed by their opponents.

The North London outfit are currently six points behind Premier League leaders City after winning two games, drawing three and losing one.

City have won five of their six matches in the top flight, but Dier has claimed that Spurs do not fear so-called "bigger" opponents.

"We have got over this thing about the bigger teams," the London Evening Standard quotes Dier as saying. "We go into these games with a different mentality now. If you look back from the beginning of last season to now, it is completely different. We fight them toe to toe."

In this fixture at White Hart Lane last season, City grabbed a 1-0 victory.
