Manchester City’s Title Hopes on the Line Against Tottenham

Manchester City will throw everything they have into Tuesday night’s match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when they visit north London to edge themselves closer to clinching the Premier League title.

Two goals from Josko Gvardiol and one apiece from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez delivered Manchester City a comprehensive 4-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, placing the onus on Arsenal to beat Manchester United on Sunday.

The Gunners kept their side of the bargain in a 1-0 success at Old Trafford thanks to Leandro Trossard’s first-half finish and must now hope their bitter local rivals do them a favour in midweek.

Here’s how City could line up against Spurs with the pressure now on their shoulders.

Predicted Lineup

GK: Ederson RB: Kyle Walker CB: Ruben Dias CB: Manuel Akanji LB: Josko Gvardiol CM: Rodri CM: Mateo Kovacic RW: Bernardo Silva AM: Kevin De Bruyne LW: Phil Foden ST: Erling Haaland

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed his confusion over Spurs fans who want them to lose against Manchester City, which could potentially hand the Premier League title to Arsenal.

Postecoglou challenged the idea that so many Spurs fans would be rooting against their team tomorrow, saying “I don’t understand it, I never will.”

“To me, I don’t understand it, I never will,” he said. “I understand rivalry — I was part of one of the biggest ones in the world in the last couple of years with Celtic and Rangers — but I’ve never and will never understand if someone wants their own team to lose.”
