Tottenham vs Manchester City
Tottenham
The Lilywhites plays far from their best football recently. Due to the bad result, they even changed their head coach Pochettino which brought squad onto higher level. However, Jose Mourinho also not showing very stable results at the moment. They took 2nd place in UEFA Champions League in group stage and will play against RB Leipzig in 1/8 Final. In addition, they almost came back in the top 5 Premier League places, but still, there are lots of work to do. At Tottenham stadium, they lost to Liverpool and Chelsea and in general won only 3 during the last 10 games. Mourinho wants to bring Bale back to London and already brought Steven Bergwijn on PSV for 35m € deal. One of the leaders Christian Eriksen didn’t find the place in renewing squad and departed to Internazionale for 20m €. Vice Champions of Champions League, of course, showing better results than at the beginning of the season. We expect big changes in the squad, as we know that Mourinho wants to have much stronger bench and first eleven. Typical Jose will make big changes during the summer transfer window for sure. But, at the moment he should use maximum to play as strong as possible against reigning champions of England.
Unfortunately, attacking leader Harry Kane, Davis and Sissoko will miss the next game due to injuries.
Manchester City
Recently, Manchester City won 7 out of 10 last meeting in different competitions. They trying to catch Liverpool, as they made it last season, but Liverpool is going further without any mistakes. At the moment, Sky Blues stand at 2nd place with 19 points difference against Reds. They had a tough season beginning and lost points due to the strugglings. However, they expected them playing much stronger in CL, what exactly happening now. Without any defeat, they took 1st place in the group stage and will play against Real Madrid in 1/8 Final. Of course, it was hard to imagine such a strong opponent in the early round, but Guardiola knows Real well, so obviously will use gained experience. Most interesting was in the last match against Red Devils in Semifinal of the EFL Cup. Manchester City won the first game against Reds with 3:1 result at Old Trafford, but lost at Etihad with 0:1 result. This defeat doesn’t change their participation in Final, but next time the team should be more accurate avoiding such mistakes, as they were very close to losing this game with a bigger handicap.
Leroy Sane should please fans with a return to the field soon. However, A. Laporte will miss the match against Tottenham due to injury.
