Can Manchester City break their duck at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight? The champs have yet to win or score at Ange Postecoglou’s home ground.
Tonight’s FA Cup fourth-round tie marks the sixth time the FA Cup holders have played at the venue. They have lost their last five games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It’s a perplexing record given the FA Cup holders’ success during that time.
Pep Guardiola‘s side will play their first game back from their winter break tonight in the FA Cup. The triple winners have won their last six games across all competitions. They will enter tonight’s game well-rested and confident, following their recent run of good play. This year’s Manchester City team appears to be in a good position to overcome their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hoodoo.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will be hoping to extend their FA Cup run. Under Ange Postecoglou, they are now fifth in the Premier League and play an appealing style of game. Spurs advanced to the fourth round with a 1-0 win over Burnley. They will also benefit from the return of standout midfielder James Maddison. Ange Postecoglou announced before the game that the England international is ready to return for tonight’s contest.
Manchester City will have to be at their best to defeat Tottenham at a ground where they have previously struggled. They will be bolstered by the return of John Stones, who has recovered from an ankle injury. The game may come too soon for Erling Haaland, who is recovering from a foot injury.
A thrilling FA Cup match between two clubs that play entertaining football awaits. Manchester City must break their drought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if they are to keep their treble defence intact. The group is capable, but the treble winners will have a stiff test.
