Manchester City back in title-race as Arsenal bags narrow win over United.
Tottenham Hotspur will look to fortify their top-four chase by maintaining their impeccable home record against title-chasing Manchester City in a pivotal midweek clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs put an end to a four-game losing run at the weekend with a comeback 2-1 win over now-relegated Burnley. A second Tottenham goal from Micky van de Ven in the 82nd minute was enough to send the Clarets tumbling out of the Premier League after Jacob Bruun Larsen opened the scoring in the 25th minute.
The win kept Spurs in 5th place with 63 points, four points outside the top-four. Tuesday’s midweek clash against City presents a challenging yet promising opportunity to close the gap on 4th-placed Villa, who will face Liverpool on Monday night.
An impressive home run against the Sky Blues will serve as extra motivation for Spurs when they welcome title-chasing City to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tottenham have won each of their last four Premier League home games against Manchester City without conceding a single goal.
A fifth consecutive home win would not only enhance their chances of a top-four finish but also give London rivals Arsenal, who need City to lose, a significant boost in the Premier League title race. However, Tottenham have lost their final home league game in two of the last three seasons.
Ange Postecoglou is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation with Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-min Son, and Brennan Johnson in attack.
Manchester City
Following a resounding 4-0 win over Fulham, title-chasing Manchester City remain one point behind Arsenal, who defeated Manchester United 1-0 on Super Sunday. A brace from Joško Gvardiol [13’, 71'], coupled with goals from Phil Foden [59’] and Julián Álvarez [90’+6 P.], who came off the bench, saw off sorry Fulham.
The Sky Blues [WWWWW], who have 82 points [25W, 7D, & 3L], will be looking to extend their winning run when they make the trip to London with a record fourth Premier League title in sight. However, an ominous cloud looms over Tuesday’s decisive clash in the capital.
Under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City have lost more Premier League games against Tottenham than any other opponent [6]. In addition, only Birmingham City [7 at Old Trafford] have played more Premier League games at a specific stadium without ever scoring than Manchester City’s record of four at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Pep Guardiola has urged his side to remain focused on the task ahead. "We have known it for many years. Always the same. Don’t think anything other than the next game. See what happens. Go to London, perform well, try to win the game," he said.
A 4-2-3-1 formation with Erling Haaland in attack is expected for this midweek clash.
