Starting lineup and tactical diagram of the two teams

Notable statistics:

Man City's Premier League form over the past few months has been impressive. Since April, they have picked up 26 points (the most in the league) and are the only team to remain unbeaten in that period (W8 D2).

However, Tottenham has always haunted Man City. In his coaching career, Pep Guardiola has lost to Spurs 9 times, only less than his record of defeats against Liverpool (10).

Last season, Man City lost to Tottenham twice, including a 0-4 defeat at the Etihad. Man City have won only 4 of their last 12 Premier League meetings with Tottenham.

Statistics also show that Spurs are one of three teams Pep has faced more than 10 times but has a winning rate of less than 50% (11/23, 48%), along with Liverpool and Real Madrid.
