Arsenal have stumbled on Saturday, unexpectedly at Goodison against Everton (1-0), so it’s a chance for Manchester City to move closer to just two points and continue the pursuit of Mikel Arteta. Pep Guardiola’s company is visiting Tottenham in London today (7.30 PM EAT) in the derby of the 22nd round of the Premier League.Both Tottenham and Manchester City had an exciting end to the transfer window. Spurs brought Sporting defender Pedro Porro on loan, who was once a member of City, but manager Guardiola sent him first to Valladolid, and then to the Lisbon Lions, who bought him out last spring.Ikiwa Manchester City watashinda dhidi ya Spurs leo, watapunguza tofauti ya alama zao na Arsenal kuwa 2 tu. Tottenham Hotspur nao wanapambana waingie 4 bora. Alama 3 unampa nani leo? Kuwa Mshindi!

At the time, Tottenham led 2-0 at halftime, but conceded four goals in the second half and returned to London disappointed. Since that match, Antonio Conte’s men have won against Fulham in the league and against Preston in the FA Cup, but the Italian expert had reasons to be nervous.Although the island’s media recently wrote about the management planning to offer him a new, financially even more favorable contract, they have now turned it around and are mentioning that the former Chelsea coach will be replaced by compatriot and also former Blues manager Maurizio Sarri at the end of the season.City were also victorious in the Premier League (against Wolverhampton) and in the FA Cup (against Arsenal), and are the only team that still has a real chance to threaten the leading Gunners (Tottenham is 14 points behind).👥 Predicted line-up: ⚪️ @SpursOfficial 🆚 @ManCity 🔵Your thoughts? 💬 pic.twitter.com/ztI487F7e9— mcfc lads (@mcfc_lads) February 4, 2023 Both managers do not have too many injury problems. Guardiola cannot count on sweeper John Stones in the next month. Phil Foden has missed the last two games with foot injuries but could be in contention for the team today. Pedro Porro, the latest signing, could make his debut for the Spurs. Richarlison and Lucas Moura have recovered from injuries, while Harry Kane is also ready, so it will be bitterweet for Conte while deciding who to put in the attacking section of the squad.Tottenham are chasing the Champions League spot, they have been defeated three times in the last five matches, while City, after the defeat in the Manchester derby, got Tottenham and Wolverhampton, with seven goals, including four goals by the fantastic Erling Haaland.Tottenham defeated the Cityzens in the previous two matches at their stadium (1-0 and 2-0).Manchester City have played at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium 4 times, losing all 4 games and not scoring a single goal:Across the 4 games, City have also missed 2 penalties, had 1 red card and had 1 goal disallowed ❌ pic.twitter.com/tDdeyt8RNV— mcfc lads (@mcfc_lads) February 3, 2023 PREMIER LEAUGE – Matchday 22FridayChelsea – Fulham 0-0Saturday Everton – Arsenal 1-0 (0-0)/Tarkowski 60/Aston Villa – Leicester 2-4 (2-3)/Watkins 9, Souttar 32 og – Maddison 12, Iheanacho 41, Tete 45+2, Praet 79/Brentford – Southampton 3-0 (2-0)/Mee 41, Mbeumo 44, Jensen 80/Brighton – Bournemouth 1-0 (0-0)/Mitoma 87/Man.Utd. – Crystal Palace 2-1 (1-0)/Fernandes 7 pen, Rashford 62 – Schlupp 76/Wolverhampton – Liverpool 3-0 (2-0)/Matip 5 og, Dawson 12, Neves 71/Newcastle – West Ham 1-1 (1-1)/Wilson 3 – Paqueta 32/Sunday 17.00: (2.70) Nott.Forest (3.10) Leeds (2.75)19.30: (4.90) Tottenham (3.60) Man.City (1.75)***odds are subject to change***
