MANCHESTER CITY travel to Tottenham as they look to move back into the top four in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola will be hoping to put the woes of defeat to his great rivals Liverpool behind him as City travel to the capital. The Citizens are usually there or thereabouts when it comes to Premier League title races, but this season are nowhere to be found.

For the quality of Guardiola's side, they are having an "off season," but they are still in the hunt for Champions League qualification, only nine points behind Arsenal in second. The Gunners will be hoping their north London rivals Tottenham can do them a favour and halt City from making any further ground on them.

While Ange Postecoglou's promise of delivering a trophy in his second season still bears fruit in the Europa League, their Premier League season has been one to forget. The Lily Whites are way off where they want to be, closer to West Ham in 16th than Fulham in 10th.
