There were boos last time out for Spurs after defeat to Wolves, and Antonio Conte has been furious at the coverage and reaction to his interview with the Italian media, where he bemoaned the transfer situation after January, despite spending big to sign Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, both from Juventus.
Spurs meet a City side in fine form after their demolition of Sporting in the Champions League this week, to all but secure their place in the quarter-finals following the one-sided first leg. Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling all enter this game in fine form and pose a huge threat to Spurs as they bid to keep alive hopes of a top-four finish.
The task at hand has been simplified by City’s dominance in possession though, which could aid Conte’s ability to drill his side this week on the training ground in hope of at least a performance to promote confidence down the straight as Harry Kane considers his future this summer with just two years remaining on his contract.

GOAL! Man City 2 - 3 Spurs (Kane, 90+5’)⚽️
90+5 mins: HARRY KANE! Tottenham flick the ball over to Kulusevski on the right wing. He’s onside this time and brings the ball to the edge of the box before lifting a cross into the middle.

GOAL! Man City 2 - 2 Spurs (Mahrez, 90+2’)⚽️
90+2 mins: Mahrez fires the penalty kick into the roof of the net and leaves Hugo Lloris very little chance to keep it out. The goalkeeper guessed the right way but couldn’t reach it and Man City have a very late equaliser.

90+1 mins: There’s going to be seven minutes of added time to play. Riyah Mahrez has the chance to bring City level here. Can he score?
Penalty to Man City!

90 mins: Penalty shout! VAR is looking at a possible handball against Cristian Romero. Bernardo Silva whips a cross into the box and Romero throws himself in front of it. His arm is in the air and this doesn’t look great for Spurs.
The referee is called over to the pitch side monitor... it’s a penalty!
Man City 1 - 2 Spurs
87 mins: Tottenham are trying to take the sting out of the game. Going down after tackles and trying to stem the flow of Manchester City’s play. Rodri pulls at Bentancur’s shirt and the Tottenham midfielder hits the deck for another free kick.
Man City 1 - 2 Spurs
84 mins: Riyad Mahrez chips a cross into the box but can’t find a way through Cristian Romero who heads it away for Tottenham. Kyle Walker sends it back into the box but laces his pass through the six-yard box and no-one can get a touch to it.

81 mins: Bernardo Silva brings the ball in from the left and finds Rodri. He passes it up to Gundogan who attempts to weave his way into the box but miscontrols the ball and lets it run through to Hugo Lloris.
Emerson Royal is taken off and Matt Doherty brought on for the last 10 minutes or so.
Man City 1 - 2 Spurs
78 mins: Tottenham are being asked to defend deep. City keep up the pressure and whip a few crosses into the box that Romero deals with. Emerson Royal tries to take the ball out to the right wing and is fouled by Kevin De Bruyne.
Lucas Moura is brought on with Son Heung-min the man replaced.
NO GOAL! Man City 1 - 2 Spurs
75 mins: It’s not to be for Tottenham! VAR was asked to check the goal and Kulusevski was mere inches offside as the ball came over to him so Kane’s goal doesn’t stand. Spurs still have the lead though but City will throw everything they have at them now.
