Tottenham defeated Manchester City in a Carabao Cup match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month, with both sides fielding heavily rotated squads. Now, Ange Postecoglou faces a tougher challenge as he aims for a positive result against the champions, despite dealing with significant setbacks.
Key players like vice-captain Cristian Romero are out with injuries, while Rodrigo Bentancur is unavailable due to suspension. Meanwhile, Manchester City are looking to bounce back after four consecutive losses in all competitions. They are boosted by Pep Guardiola’s contract extension and the return of key players Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish from injury.
The match, set to kick off at 5:30 pm UK time at the Etihad Stadium, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with *football.london* offering live coverage from Alasdair Gold. Both teams are eager to return to winning ways, promising a tense and high-stakes contest.
