My money is on a Maureen special.... park the bus and prey that VAR turns them a favour

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Manchester City have won seven of the past 10 league meetings at the Etihad Stadium, only losing on 14 February 2016.

However, Spurs have won both league encounters - at home - with Jose Mourinho as their manager.


Manchester City

City are on a 15-match winning run in all competitions, a record for an English top-flight side, and are unbeaten in 22 since their 2-0 defeat by Tottenham in November.

They have only conceded three goals in their past 14 league games.
Manchester City can equal the club record of seven successive home clean sheets in all competitions, set from December 1946 to March 1947.
Pep Guardiola could lose three consecutive top-flight fixtures against the same team for the first time as a manager.

He and Jose Mourinho have faced each other in 24 games, with Guardiola leading by 10 wins to seven.
Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is the Premier League's leading scorer in 2021 with seven goals in eight appearances. His previous seven league goals came over a period of 62 games.


Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs have won just one of their past six top-flight away fixtures (D3, L2). They could lose consecutive away league games for the first time since October 2019.

Tottenham are winless in 24 away fixtures against the team starting the day top of the table since beating Blackburn in November 1992 (D3, L21).
They are vying to beat both Manchester clubs away in the same top-flight season for the first time since 1959-60. The last side to do so was Liverpool in 2008-09.

Jose Mourinho could become the first manager to win three away games against a Pep Guardiola side in all competitions, having triumphed with Real Madrid in 2012 and Manchester United in 2018.

Son Heung-min has scored six goals in his past eight appearances against Manchester City in all competitions.

Harry Kane only averages a Premier League goal every 428 minutes versus Manchester City, his worst record against any of the 30 teams he has faced in the division. Kane has scored twice in 10 appearances in this fixture, but none in the last six.

fucking hate these twats, i hope we bury them just go for them at the start but still keep a lookout for son as he is quick

2 buses today

Put the last time we played them to bed and give us the confidence for the Cup Final.

Fucking hate the Spuds!

Son always has the game of his life against us.

+1

Expect plenty of wide open expansive football from maureen.

Sergio in the squad. On the bench I presume and may well not get minutes. A promising step forward though

I can’t stand these fuckers, surely their luck will run out this time, that Son always plays like a man possessed against us, be fantastic if we can beat these today

Here's how we line-up against Spurs

XI | Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Bernardo, Sterling (C), Foden, Jesus

SUBS | Steffen, Walker, Dias, Aguero, Torres, Mendy, Mahrez, Garcia, Doyle

Sergio on the bench,, welcome back lad

Laporte v Spuds......not a good omen

Good side.

Ni Dias, do not want to be negative but Laporte has fucked up against these in the past, let’s hope he is okay today, apart from that good team

For fuck sake, no Ruby.
Son will rip again laporte

Expected team except for Ruben who obviously isn’t quite up to 90 minutes. Stones on the Right and Laporte on the Left should be fine. Sergio on the bench.

Why the fuck is Laporte ahead of Días ?
Son will score against him - 100%

Are we one up yet?
