Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli will return for Monday's Premier League clash with leaders Manchester City.
Alli has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Tottenham's Carabao Cup win over Watford on September 26.
Fifth-placed Tottenham could go above City with a fifth successive league victory and the possible return of Alli would be a boost against Pep Guardiola's in-form side.

"We hope he will be available for Monday but we are not sure if he'll be in the squad."
