Both Tottenham and Man City entered the match with 2-0 victories in the Champions League. Spurs had just beaten Eintracht Frankfurt to secure their place in the round of 16, while Pep Guardiola's side comfortably defeated Galatasaray at home at the Etihad Stadium.
However, while Man City has maintained consistency in both European and domestic competitions, Tottenham is showing the opposite face, struggling in the Premier League.
Under manager Thomas Frank, Spurs have yet to find a domestic league win since the beginning of 2026. After five matches, the North London team has only managed three draws and suffered two defeats, most recently a bitter 2-2 draw against Burnley.
Once again, the central defensive pairing of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero proved invaluable, scoring both goals to save Spurs from a third consecutive defeat. However, Tottenham currently sit 14th in the league table – a position that is difficult to accept given the club's ambitions.
The pressure on manager Thomas Frank is immense, as he currently has the lowest average home points per game in Tottenham's Premier League history (0.82 points/match).

On the opposite side, Pep Guardiola and Man City travel to London aiming to avenge their 0-2 defeat to Tottenham in the first leg. Spurs have long been considered a nemesis for Man City, but the Blues also have reason to be confident, having won their last two away matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
If they win another game, Man City will have won three consecutive away matches against Spurs in the Premier League for the first time.
Man City's form is improving. Their victory against Wolves not only ended a four-match winless streak in the Premier League, but also allowed them to capitalize on Arsenal's slip-up to close the gap to just four points.
With the title race heating up, Guardiola understands that every point now is crucial.
For Tottenham, this is an opportunity to prove themselves against a giant and appease disgruntled fans. For Man City, a victory in North London would not only be a statement of strength but also a crucial step in their pursuit of Arsenal. A true clash awaits Premier League fans.
