Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that his team has a tough stretch ahead of them, citing their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome.
This season, Tottenham will have a significant influence on the outcome of the Premier League title since the Lilywhites are scheduled to face all three of their title competitors, beginning this Sunday with their match against Arsenal.
Spurs supporters will be eager to witness their team defeat the longtime rival at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and severely harm their chances of winning the league.
After that game, though, Arsenal supporters will actually be rooting for their opponents to win both against Liverpool and City in order to support their title challenge.
In what could be their biggest test of the season, the Premier League winners will visit Spurs on May 14 for their penultimate game of the season. They have yet to win a league game or collect a point from their trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Man City travels to Tottenham for a difficult test.
Guardiola called the match against Spurs one of the hardest his team has left before City plays Brighton.
“They’ll test us in ways we are not used to,” he stated in reference to City’s matchup with the Seagulls, as reported by Manchester Evening News. That may be the hardest since we have to be the strongest, the most patient, and the ones who make them uncomfortable at the same time.
“I’m not saying the others aren’t—imagine Spurs or Fulham away, for example—but the way they play makes it extremely difficult, so we need to be prepared.”
According to Spurs Online Views
When Guardiola’s team visits the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, most Spurs supporters will definitely be rooting for City to win if they are still tied with Arsenal. Thus, the atmosphere for that match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can be peculiar.
