The stage is set for an exhilarating Premier League clash as defending champions Manchester City aim to shake off their recent slump against Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium this Saturday. Pep Guardiola's side, currently enduring a disheartening four-match winless streak, will be eager to turn the tide after their previous encounter with Spurs, where they faced a disappointing 2-1 defeat in the League Cup. In a show of commitment, Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension on Thursday, ensuring he remains at the helm of the Citizens until 2027, adding to the urgency of rectifying their form.
On the other side, Tottenham Hotspur also enter this fixture on a low note following a surprising home loss to Ipswich Town, marking the Tractor Boys' first Premier League victory of the season. As it stands, Manchester City finds themselves five points adrift of league leaders Liverpool, who are set to clash with basement dwellers Southampton on Sunday. With a daunting trip to Anfield looming next weekend, City cannot afford any further slip-ups.
