In the last game, Pep Guardiola’s men were beaten 1-2 by Manchester United, while Spurs were beaten 2-0 by north London rivals Arsenal.

Manchester City remain second in the table but now have eight points behind Arsenal from the same number of games. Although on Thursday they may temporarily reduce that gap to five.

However, Manchester United have the same number of points and Newcastle United are one point behind City.

It’s also worth noting that Guardiola’s men have failed to beat Brentford and Everton in their last two games at the Etihad – having won 11 top-flight matches at home – but only once has Guardiola played three home matches without a league win since then. .since joining the club in 2016.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte witnessed his side’s well-deserved loss in the London derby to the Gunners on Sunday night.

Hugo Lloris created an inexplicable own goal before Martin Odegaard scored another first-half goal to set the score. Tottenham’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League – and their attempts to convince Conte to agree to a new contract – are dwindling as they sit fifth in the table and are currently six points behind Manchester United.

Just three wins in the last nine Premier League games are unlikely to help the team into the top four, but contrary to those numbers, Conte’s side have scored an enticing nine goals in the last three matches at away from the Premier League. And the fact that Spurs beat Guardiola is nothing new.

Indeed, Tottenham managed to beat him twice last season and won four of their last five Premier League games against Man City.
