LIVE STREAMING: Manchester City versus Tottenham [Click to watch]
Those results mean Pep Guardiola’s men come into contest eight points behind the league leaders and are in danger of falling as low as fourth by the end of the next weekend if they drop more points.
Discussing issues in attack and getting key man Erling Haaland on the ball, highlighted by three consecutive PL outings without multiple goals for the first time since September 2021. Guardiola admitted that his side may “need to find him a little bit more in the final third.” Desperate to get back on track, the City boss may not appreciate facing a Tottenham team that could become the first ever opponent to hand Guardiola three straight managerial H2H league defeats.
While Spurs may take some comfort from ‘doing the double’ over City last season, it may not be enough to see them arrive at the Etihad in a confident mood. When this contest was originally scheduled to take place in September, Tottenham could have finished the day top of the table had they won, yet they’re now five points short of the top four.
