Man City player ratings vs Tottenham: Phil Foden falls flat yet again as Savinho injury leaves Pep Guardiola counting cost of early Carabao Cup exit

Description

Pep Guardiola called upon several youth and fringe players as Manchester City took on Tottenham in the Carabao Cup fourth round, and even though there was a generous sprinkling of experience and quality to go with that, his side were second-best as they lost 2-1 in north London.

With only six minutes on the clock, Tottenham took the lead. Archie Gray's pass into the channel found Brennan Johnson, who flicked the ball forward and set Dejan Kulusevski racing away. The Swede scampered to the byline and crossed low for Timo Werner to power beyond Stefan Ortega.

Midway through the first half, the visitors found themselves two down. A simple corner routine saw Kulusevski tee up Pape Matar Sarr on the edge of the box, and he curled his strike from 25 yards in at the near post.

City's first opportunity came shortly before the break when Matheus Nunes ran down the outside of Gray and fizzed a teasing cross through the six-yard box, which only just evaded the toes of Phil Foden. In the final minute of first-half stoppage time, however, City grabbed themselves a lifeline as Savinho twisted his way past Destiny Udogie and chipped a lovely cross up for Nunes to convert at the back stick.

Tottenham should have been out of sight on the other side of the break when Dominic Solanke turned away from two City defenders and sent Werner through against Ortega, but he took his touch wide and his weak-foot strike whistled past the far post. Minutes later, Ortega threw up a strong hand to deny Kulusevski when he was similarly clear on goal.

Guardiola's men were in real danger of receiving a knockout blow in the final 10 minutes, with Josko Gvardiol notably throwing the ball straight to Richarlison, who somehow fluffed his lines when met with Ortega at close quarters.

City had one final chance left in them, which came when Guglielmo Vicario flapped at a corner and the loose ball fell kindly for Nico O'Reilly, but the youngster's strike was poked off the line by Yves Bissouma and the hosts held on through six minutes of added time for the victory.

Aiming for their second London derby victory in just two weeks, a rejuvenated Tottenham Hotspur will face struggling Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in Sunday’s Premier League matchup.

After a sluggish beginning to the season, Tottenham has shown significant improvement recently. With three victories in their last four league matches, they have climbed to seventh place, now just three points shy of the top four. This positive trend has carried over into their European campaign, where they have triumphed in all three of their matches thus far. Their only defeat in the last eight matches across all competitions came at Brighton, where they let a 2-0 advantage slip away.

On the flip side, Crystal Palace has struggled in their last five outings, managing only one win, one draw, and three losses. It has been a challenging period for the team as they continue to grapple with a slow start to the season. Their recent stretch began with EFL Cup action, where they progressed with a 2-1 victory against Championship side QPR.

Team news & squads

Crystal Palace team news

Crystal Palace are dealing with a host of fitness issues, with Chadi Riad (knee), Chris Richards (thigh), and Matheus Franca (groin) all sidelined, and it looks like the matchup against Spurs will come too soon for Cheick Doucoure, who is recovering from a toe injury.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner will at least return to the squad after being unable to participate against his parent club, Forest. However, the USA international is expected to remain on the bench, with Dean Henderson being the undisputed first-choice at the moment.

Eddie Nketiah will be looking to break a long scoring drought. The Palace number nine has yet to find the net in the Premier League in 2024.

Crystal Palace possible XI: Henderson; Lacroix, Chalobah, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Kamada, Nketiah, Eze

Tottenham team news

On the other hand, Spurs' sharpness against AZ was affected by the absence of captain Son Heung-min, who was rested during the midweek match due to feeling "a bit sore" following the victory over West Ham, just after he had returned from a prior hamstring injury.

Manager Postecoglou has now indicated that the 32-year-old will not be available for Sunday’s match either, setting up a three-way contest for the left-wing position among Timo Werner and two young talents, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert.

Son joins Djed Spence (groin) as the only players missing for the visitors, and significant changes are expected; James Maddison and Destiny Udogie are the only starters from midweek likely to retain their spots in the lineup.

Tottenham Hotspur possible XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Odobert

Chelsea women's player ratings vs Tottenham: No Lauren James, no problem! Blues continue perfect WSL start despite Hannah Hampton's dismay at controversial Spurs equaliser

Chelsea continued their perfect start to the new Women's Super League season on Sunday with an eventful 5-2 win over London rivals Tottenham. It wasn't a game without obstacle for the Blues, who were without Lauren James due to injury and were also left dismayed by Spurs' first half equaliser, which Hannah Hampton was convinced she had kept out. But the champions of England persevered and emerged with all three points ahead of the international break.

The incident that will be talked about most from this game came midway through the first half, after Maika Hamano had already given Chelsea the lead. Spurs full-back Amanda Nilden spotted Hampton drifting to her left for the anticipated cross and went for goal, and the assistant flagged to signal that her effort had crossed the line despite the goalkeeper's best efforts. It was to the dismay of Hampton, who was booked for her protestations, and suddenly the visitors were back in the game.

Even when Nilden got on the scoresheet at the other end, inadvertently flicking Guro Reiten's corner into her own net, things were tight and competitive - until a late flurry from the champions. Rytting Kaneryd's volley in the 70th minute will be a goal of the season contender, summer signing Sandy Baltimore was there to convert when Reiten's penalty hit the post a few minutes later and then - after Eveliina Summanen pulled another back for Spurs with a great free-kick - Rytting Kaneryd put the gloss on it all, adding a late fifth with an emphatic finish.

It's a result that sends the Blues into the break on a high, with four wins from their first four WSL games as they pursue a sixth successive league title and a first under new head coach Sonia Bompastor.
