Guardiola keeps door open for Joao Cancelo's return to Manchester City

This young stadium enjoys a special moment, as Pep Guardiola endures yet another bad evening here. The Manchester City manager could only watch as his side failed to do what Harry Kane has now made historic virtue out of.

The Tottenham Hotspur legend has now become their leading goalscorer, going one better than the great Jimmy Greaves with his 267th goal for the club. It proved the only goal of an invigorating 1-0 win over the champions, as they still haven’t scored at the Spurs stadium since it was built in 2019.

That was this time without the recovering Antonio Conte present in the ground, as Guardiola’s problems only mounted. His side failed to take the chance to go within two points of Arsenal after the leaders’ loss at Everton on Saturday and that, most aggravatingly for the City manager, after his side barely mustered a chance at all.

Tottenham vs Man City latest news

The Premier League’s top two goalscorers will be on show today - Harry Kane has 16 for Spurs, but Erling Haaland remains miles out in front on 25 for the campaign.

He has slowed a little of late though, with only four in his last four.

A goal every 62 minutes in the league this term on average!

Tottenham vs Man City latest news

Heading into this match, Man City have won their last two Premier League games - one against Spurs - but prior to that had only won one in three.

They are five points behind leaders Arsenal and though they can of course cut that gap today, they will have played one match more.

Spurs are fifth, four points behind Newcastle in fourth, and have won just one of the last three themselves.

Manchester City have the chance to cut the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal to two points when they visit Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.

Arsenal’s defeat to Everton on Saturday has given Pep Guardiola’s side fresh hope in the title race - but the Manchester City manager has lost all of his visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

City came from two goals down at half time to defeat Spurs in a 4-2 thriller last month, but Antonio Conte’s side have a good recent record against the Premier League champions.

Spurs also have the chance to close the gap to fourth-place Newcastle to just one point, after Eddie Howe’s side were held by West Ham.
