Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension, committing to the club until 2027 despite ongoing financial fair play investigations that could result in severe penalties for the team.
Tottenham will be without key defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for their match against City, while City faces their own injury concerns with Rodri and Mateo Kovacic sidelined.
Postecoglou defended Spurs' appeal of Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match ban for a racial slur, though the move has drawn criticism for its optics.
Guardiola praised Postecoglou's management style, while Postecoglou called Guardiola one of football's greats ahead of their Premier League meeting at the Etihad Stadium.
