Manchester City will put their perfect home record on the line against fellow title hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
City boast an unblemished record at the Etihad Stadium this season, with five outings bringing 15 points and 20 goals.
They have conceded just twice during that run, and it is their form in front of their own supporters which is keeping them in the race for the Premier League crown.
Setbacks on the road have seen City fall six points off the pace, but they will feel that things could be a lot worse and that there is still plenty more to come from them this season.
The same could be said for Tottenham, with Andre Villas-Boas' troops yet to hit top gear.
A defensive record which has seen Spurs breached just six times bodes well ahead of a meeting with free-scoring City, but it is at the opposite end of the field that questions remain.
Rather surprisingly, given the attacking and creative options at their disposal, Spurs have found the target on just nine occasions so far and need to find a spark from somewhere if they are to mount a sustained push for a top-four finish.
Manchester City had Sunday's game pencilled in for the return to action of skipper Vincent Kompany from a thigh injury, but doubts remain over his fitness.
David Silva has sat out the Blues' last two fixtures with a calf complaint and is unlikely to be risked, with it suggested that he requires another 10 days of recovery.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini clearly has some big selection decisions to make, and he must also rule on whether Joe Hart's performance for England against Germany on Tuesday makes him deserving of recall ahead of Costel Pantilimon.
Tottenham boss Villas-Boas has revealed that striker Emmanuel Adebayor could make his first appearance of the season against his old club.
Midfielder Christian Eriksen is out for four weeks with an ankle injury picked up on international duty, while Danny Rose remains sidelined because of a toe problem he suffered in September.
Left-back Zeki Fryers and midfielder Nacer Chadli have recovered from their respective groin and hamstring troubles while Hugo Lloris is fit to return in goal.
