After a tough away win at Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur return home to a much easier task: taking on Manchester City.
I speak largely in jest, of course, but the truth is that Spurs have a quite unusually good record against the Citizens over the last few years. To add to that history, Spurs are in fact five wins from five fixtures against Manchester clubs this season. They will be buoyed as well by the recent uptick in form, as well as the continued returns of absentees to the matchday squads.
City are well above Spurs on the table, but in some ways may be more disappointed with their season thus far. The Sky Blues are in a bit of a strange limbo, not doing terribly in the league but with most of the major trophies now out of reach as they struggle through a period of rebuild (sound familiar?). They have suffered some heavy defeats in recent weeks, and are searching desperately for a statement victory to right the ship.
Let’s sink it instead.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
