This game could well prove to be a turning point for the victor, as Manchester City are looking to reverse a patchy season so far by their own standards, and Spurs are looking to fight their way back into the European places. Neither team have been convincing, although it is City who have form for mounting string finished in this division.
Postecoglou has been up against it, and some of his press conferences have been a little testy, given his win ratio this term. Pep has ridden storms at City before and will be relying on his experience at this level to steer his boys to safety.
