Different Managers, same problems

Guardiola has been in the dugout for City’s last ten games against Tottenham, but across from him have sat 5 different Spurs managers in that time.

He has faced; Jose Mourinho, Ryan Mason (although Ryan Mason is always there), Nuno Espírito Santo, Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou. Despite there being different managers and different approaches, the games have played out in a similar way.

When Manchester City have won, it has appeared relatively comfortable. They almost always dominate possession and generate more chances at goal.

However, Tottenham’s wins often embody a sense of chaotic luck. Packed deep into their own box, riding their luck with City missing good opportunities, Spurs somehow score their one or two shots on target with several last-minute goals featuring as well.

Playing against City seems to inspire Spurs players

As Manchester City each year continue to cement their dominance, their strength invites challenge and some of Tottenham’s players appear to thrive in that fixture.

Manchester City is the club Dejan Kulusevski has made the most goal contributions against in his career. With 3 goals and 4 assists across 7 games, when Tottenham click against City, he is likely to be involved in the goals.

With Spurs in need of a win after their loss against Ipswich, Spurs fans hope they can find the same form which saw them knock City out of the League Cup only a few weeks ago.
