Man City vs Spurs Preview: Visitors confident of result

Mauricio Pochettino believes his Tottenham Hotspur side can come away with a result at Manchester City on Saturday.

Spurs struggled against Man City last season, having failed to stop Manuel Pellegrini’s side from scoring 11 goals against them in two league games.

However, former Espanyol boss Pochettino believes that his side can come away from the Etihad stadium with a result after some impressive performances of late, most notably the 1-0 win over Southampton.

The Argentinian said: “We arrive in a good moment. After our victory against Southampton we need to keep the momentum, to reproduce the same actions and to try to get the three points.

“It’s not important now to think in the past. It’s important to look forward. I don’t have any concerns about these results [in last season’s matches against City].”

Spurs will visit Manchester without both Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker, but Hugo Lloris and Nacer Chadli are both close to a return.

Meanwhile Emmanuel Adebayor and Nabil Bentaleb are due to return on Friday from their African Nations Cup qualifiers.

Man City will be without Samir Nasri and Fernandinho for the Saturday afternoon clash.
