Man City vs Tottenham: The pressure is on to turn the tide in Manchester City‘s pursuit of a sixth straight Premier League title as Pep Guardiola gets ready to extend his tenure there. Tottenham is coming to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday for a pivotal matchup at 12:30 pm ET, following a difficult four-game losing skid. It has never been more evident that Guardiola wants to overcome hardship and get back to normal after a difficult time.
The stakes are high for both teams in this game; Tottenham wants to get back on track after a rough stretch, while Manchester City wants to recover from their setbacks.
Match Preview: Rodri, Kovacic, and Ruben Dias are among the important players out for Manchester City due to injuries. Guardiola acknowledges that the difficulties of this season have motivated him to stick with the team in spite of the difficult situation, saying that at first he was thinking about leaving. It’s possible that his decision to stay may lead to a change for the team, beginning with this important game against Tottenham.
Despite a strong start, Tottenham has also faltered recently and is currently in 10th position in the league. A victory over City, though, might put them back in the running for a higher ranking.
