FORM GUIDE

Manchester City go into the match in sparkling form, having chalked up a 15th successive victory on Wednesday night against Swansea City in the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola‘s men sit five points clear at the top of the tree in the Premier League with a game in hand on second-placed Manchester United.

However, Tottenham were the last side to inflict a defeat on City, so the visitors take confidence from that result back in November when they travel north.

Jose Mourinho’s side currently sit eighth in the table, but that position belies the quality they possess as well as the cluster of sides in and around them harbouring top four ambitions.

Spurs were knocked out of the FA Cup on Wednesday night, going down 5-4 in a thriller at Goodison Park, but managed to beat West Brom 2-0 in their last Premier League outing.

Last Meeting

November’s match in the capital signifies the last time we tasted defeat, with goals from Heung-Min Son and Giovani Lo Celso earning Spurs a 2-0 win.

The victory moved Jose Mourinho’s side top of the Premier League table after nine matches, with City down in 11th place.

Since then, we have embarked on a 22-match unbeaten run.
