If Poch plays to their strengths he's playing right into Peps hands, if he tries to contain us getting his second string defence playing a system they're not used to then we should have too much for them, either way a City win. First style a high scoring game that doesn't do much for goal difference but puts everyone nearer a 100 goal payout, second way a one or two goal win.

Thanks for the info. mate as I happened to be speaking to two Tottenham fans today and their arrogance was quite incredible. They were going on like they were the best club in the world and criticising City with the usual crap. I just wish I had that "57 years" stat in my head at the time. God I hope we batter them buggers tomorrow.
 
The way we'll lose is if they catch fire early and we somehow don't. They, along with dippers, have the best chance of beating us. With that said, I think we'll win simply because our attack will be too much for their 2nd defensive unit. Goals will be scored - should be fun.
 
Tough game. Feel for B. Silva being dropped thought he was very good against Swansea but another must win game and it'll need a full side.

Ederson

Walker Otamendi Mangala Delphinho

Fernandinho

Sterling KDB Silva Sane

Aguero

I do feel it'll be a tough game but I still think we'll have to much for Spurs I'm going 3-1.
 
Yep, likely the toughest game. Last season they punched above their weight with performances that we didn't have answers to to be honest. I feel Pep would have a better idea now on how to go against Pochettino but they will not fear us compared to the safe approach other teams have taken so far.
 
Biggest concern is not how they play but our back four, Kompany & Stones are a big miss as well as the goal scoring form of Jesus and Auguro (although hoping hes over his blip following his goal against swans).

Other than that, dont expect them to sit back which plays into our hands.
 
Bloody hell, I keep reading about how spurs are a top club who are going to beat us today. Look at the points gap, look at their record away at top 6 sides, think about how we are playing. They might beat us, but they probably won’t. Anyone would think it was them who were countless points above in the league and had dropped only 2 points all season

I would put performance in the singular rather than the plural. They were far better than us at White Hart Lane but at the Etihad it was the refereeing performance that overcame us more than the Spurs one plus a failure to take our chances .
Undoubtedly a threat today though.
 
Spurs have been a bit up and down recently but are a dangerous side who will be up for it today, however I suspect we will prevail in what will be the biggest game of the season so far.
I'm going 3-1 City.
 
Spuds haven't won an away game since September and have only won away to Everton of the top 10 teams.
