Premier League 14th April 2018 | Tottenham v Manchester City preview: City look to bounce back

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City

7:45pm Saturday 14th April

Wembley Stadium  

Tottenham will be looking to inflict a fourth straight defeat on Manchester City when they meet on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.

City have had a week to forget as they were knocked out of the Champions League by Liverpool on Tuesday, having blown the chance to win the Premier League last weekend after losing to Manchester United.

However, they are still 13 points clear at the top of the table and beat Spurs 4-1 last time they met.

"In football in 90 minutes you can win or lose, but we need to be more consistent through the whole season in result and performance because you need to be consistent if you are going to win."

Spurs start the weekend in fourth place in the Premier League and with a 10-point lead over fifth-placed Chelsea.

They have won seven of their last eight games in all competitions and have won their last two home league games against Man City.

Team news

Manchester City are without top scorer Sergio Aguero (knee), while midfielder Fernandinho is also missing through suspension and defender John Stones is still troubled by a thigh problem.

Left-back Benjamin Mendy, out since September with knee ligament damage, also remains on the sidelines.

Danny Rose will miss out for Tottenham due to a calf injury, though his absence is not expected to be lengthy.

Midfielder Harry Winks is in Qatar seeking answers to an ankle injury while defender Kyle Walker-Peters (hamstring) also misses out.

Opta facts

City have only won one of their last five Premier League games against Spurs (D1 L3), though it was in the reverse fixture in December.

This will be the third Premier League game to kick-off at this time on a Saturday, after Southampton 4-0 Arsenal (26/12/2015) and Leicester 2-2 Manchester United (23/12/2017).

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 14 Premier League games (W11 D3); they last had a longer unbeaten run in the top-flight between January-August 1967 (20 games).

City are looking to avoid back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time since December 2016.

Only Alan Shearer (14), Wayne Rooney (11) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (11) have scored more Premier League goals against Spurs than Sergio Aguero has (10). However, the Argentine hasn't scored in any of his last five against them.
