Thomas Frank made it two wins out of two as Tottenham head coach with a brilliant away performance for his visiting side at the Etihad

It is perhaps unwise to make grand conclusions about any team two games into their season, but when Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet on Saturday, the teams will be telling a tale of two very different rebuilds.

Manchester City make two changes to the side that beat Wolves in the opening game. After scoring off the bench at Molineux, is a first Premier League start for summer signing Rayan Cherki, while Omar Marmoush also comes in.

The optimism of City's opening-weekend romp at Wolverhampton Wanderers quickly evaporated as their first home game of the season ended in a 2-0 loss to the London club.

A new-look Manchester City showed familiar frailties as Tottenham strolled to a 2-0 win at the Etihad on Saturday, while Aston Villa slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Brentford.A 4-0 thrashing of Wolves on the opening weekend of the campaign showed glimpses of a revamped City back to their best.

Thomas Frank spoke to BBC Sport after Tottenham's victory against Manchester City: "Very pleasing result and overall performance. "The first 35 minutes City were slightly on top. That goal helped. A big thing in these games against City, who are a top team, is stay in the game and keep doing what you're doing.

Losing out to Arsenal for Eberechi Eze was humbling for Spurs. But maybe they've already made their signing of the summer by hiring Thomas Frank.

As Frank continued his impressive start, there was evidence to suggest that another victory at the Etihad was build on more solid foundations
