Barclays Premier League Match Preview
In this battle of top teams in the Barclays Premier League, a win for either will be a source of new debates in the footballing world. Sitting at 2nd place in the Premier League in terms of goal difference, a win for Manchester City would keep the pressure intact on Arsenal who have a game in hand. However, for Tottenham, a win would open the door for a belated fight for the 4th place.
Thus, while a win would be welcome for both, a defeat would be more catastrophic for Tottenham than it would be for the reigning Premier League Champions.
Looking at the team news for Manchester City and the Citizens are ready to welcome Vincent Kompany back from the injury which the Belgian sustained in their derby loss to Manchester United. However, with one stalwart coming back into full match fitness, Yaya Toure is a notable absentee from the starting 11 as the Ivorian star would be rested to recuperate from his injury problems.
While football is a game of 11v11, this match has all the ingredients involved in it to become a 1v1 finale. Sitting on 20 and 21 goals respectively, Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero will go head to head to claim the most prized individual award in the Barclays Premier League.
While Harry Kane earned a place in the PFA team of the year, it was at the expense of Sergio Aguero. Thus, with scores to settle, a Sergio Aguero goal might block the road for Harry Kane in his fairytale season for Tottenham.
Here is how Manchester City are expected to lineup against Tottenham: –
