Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
A draw would be like a win.
Manchester City are very strong at home and have dispatched opponents with ease in the Premier League. This would be a very tough fixture for us to win. They’ll be without their captain and key centre half, Vincent Kompany. Kompany is a rock at the back for both club and country, and will be a big miss for the Civilians. They’ll likely start with a combination of Martin Demichelis and Matija Nastasic. This will come of a great advantage to us, as we look to expect a weaker Manchester City defence.
Spurs have not found a way to crack open defenses from open play. What is going for us is that our away form has been better compared to our performances at home. No surprises that we will look to keep possession and strike on the counter. We’ll be without Christian Eriksen and AVB will have a difficult decision on who to play in the number 10 role. Lewis Holtby could take up the role and would seem as likely as anybody else to fill the void.
Erik Lamela could potentially feature in the middle of a dynamic three behind our main striker, but could be a bit of a risk for such a crucial match. There has been talk that Adebayor could feature today playing off Soldado but I don’t think it will happen from the start.
Like I said in the beginning, 1 point from this fixture would be considered a good result for us.
