Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City meet again on Wednesday night in the domestic cup as City travel to north London for this Carabao Cup fourth round tie.
These two sides met in the FA Cup last season with City claiming their first win (and scoring their first goal) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to a Nathan Ake winner. Pep Guardiola’s side secured a big win at the same stadium in their penultimate game of the Premier League season to take them one step closer to a fourth consecutive league title.
The circumstances will not be so peculiar on Wednesday night, with sections of Tottenham’s fan base lining up for City in their final outing to prevent Arsenal from winning the league title.
The Lilywhite faithful are desperate for silverware and a win here would see Spurs into the quarter-finals of this competition. Ange Postecoglou’s side came from behind to beat Coventry in the third round, while City overcame Watford to progress.

Postecoglou will shuffle his pack from Sunday’s disappointing defeat, but it remains to be seen whether captain Son Heung-min will return to the fold after missing the trip to Selhurst Park. Djed Spence is currently out with a groin injury.
Teenager Mikey Moore could keep his place on the left if Son is not fit to start, and there should be starts for Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.
Radu Dragusin could slot into Spurs’ backline, while Richarlison will hope to start over Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham predicted line-up against Man City (4-3-3): Vicar; Porro, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Gray; Bentancur, Bergvall, Sarr; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Guardiola will turn to the club’s academy on Wednesday night, but there will surely be some experience in his starting eleven.
John Stones and Ilkay Gundogan were used off the bench at the weekend, so could return to the team on Wednesday, while Nathan Ake, who started last week’s defeat of Sparta Prague, was a unused substitute.
James McAtee and Nico O’Reilly are set to start in midfield, while teenage defender Kaden Braithwaite could retain his place at the heart of City’s backline after impressing in the third round win. Watford.
Man City’s expected line-up against Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Braithwaite, Ake; O’Reilly, Gundogan; McAtee, Nunes, Savio; fuck
The likely selection of the City team gives Tottenham a good chance to advance to the quarter-finals on Wednesday. Although Guardiola’s side dominated this competition, the Spaniard has not been thought of much in recent years and is unlikely to be too defeated by a defeat here given the demands of the Cityzens’ schedule.
Ange will want another response from his players later Sunday’s terrible show at the Palaceand his team has performed well at home this season. However, there is a considerable drop in performance levels when the manager rotates due to a lack of familiarity rather than talent, so they will not outshine their young visitors on Wednesday.
This one could go either way, and a penalty shootout could be required to decide the winner.
