Tottenham vs Manchester City: LIVE updates, watch live, scores, analysis, highlights

On By Littum

450 minutes. It’s all that stands between Tottenham Hotspur and the club’s first major trophy in 16 years. Well, that and the small matter of a League Cup round-of-16 clash with Manchester City, the four-time reigning Premier League champions, but that’s neither here nor there.

What is another League Cup for Manchester City? They have only gone on to win it in 6 of the last 10 seasons, including 4 of 8 under Pep Guardiola. Kevin De Bruyne, currently out of injury, has won the League Cup five times as the last remaining player from the pre-Guardiola era.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have been to just four finals (three of which were the League Cup) and came up short in all four since last lifting a piece of silverware in 2008. Whether Ange Postecoglous plays or not remains to be seen. style is sustainable over 38 PL games, but a cup competition where you only have to navigate six games against five different teams? If only the draw had been kinder to them.

Postecoglou is yet to beat Guardiola, with the sides drawing 3-3 in their first meeting last December, followed by 1-0 and 2-0 wins for Man City in the FA Cup and PL respectively.
