Manchester City need to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday if they are to maintain control of the title race that goes down to the final day of the season. The big question is what proportion of the 60,000 fans will be willing to do just that when any point dropped by Pep Guardiola’s side opens the door for Arsenal to win the Premier League.
Much could depend on whether Spurs are still in the race to finish in the top four. A win for Aston Villa over Liverpool on Monday night would end that particular battle and all Ange Postecoglu and his players would have to focus on is fending off unlikely opponents in fifth place.

Team news and stories
Tottenham: It appears unlikely that Richarlison would have recovered in time for Tuesday’s game after missing the win over Burnley, a match which broke a run of four consecutive defeats for Postecoglu’s side, with Micky van de Ven scoring eight minutes from the end, in a match in which Spurs had plenty. chances of winning the game. The Dutchman moved to left-back after Radu Dragusin’s introduction in the second half and this could be a look that the coach will use again to combat City’s offensive threat.
“I think we have what it takes to make a game of it, play our football and see where it takes us,” Postecoglu said. “They are an excellent team and they and Arsenal are the benchmark of the competition at the moment. They are 20 points ahead of us and we have some ground to make up, but it’s our place, it’s 95 minutes of football and we’re going to have fun.”
Tottenham’s possible XI: Vicarious; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Van de Ven; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Johnson
City of Manchester: What is expected to be a fully fit squad faces a simple equation, ending one of the most curious sequences in Premier League football. Tottenham have won each of their last four home games against City without conceding a goal, an unbroken run of goalless league games at a stadium that is only eclipsed by Birmingham City’s seven games at Old Trafford. Pep Guardiola’s side will hope to have broken the confusion when they visited this ground earlier in the season for an FA Cup tie, with Nathan Ake scoring the winner in the 88th minute.
Manchester City’s Possible XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland
Prediction
Don’t expect any favors from Spurs, Arsenal fans. This should be a comfortable win for City. CHOICE: Tottenham 0, Manchester City 2
