Champions look to bounce back as Spurs eye response
Manchester City vs Tottenham – LIVE!
Man City host Spurs later today in a heavyweight Premier League showdown. It will be fascinating to see how the champions react after a run of four consecutive defeats for the first time in Pep Guardiola’s career. Three points would at least put pressure on leaders Liverpool ahead of their game on Sunday, though another loss could prove fatal come may.
Guardiola has recently ended uncertainty over his future by signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium, which should help settle things down somewhat. Quite what impact that has on the pitch, however, remains to be seen.
Spurs, meanwhile, are looking for their own kind of response. Inconsistency continues to undermine Ange Postecoglou, who saw his side beaten by Ipswich before the international break to increase the pressure.
