While the premier league might be the domain of the league leaders, Manchester City, the champions league has shown that it can be a different ball game when the chips are down. Manchester City found out the hard way when they went up against Liverpool last season and they are on the verge of finding out once again. To make sure that history fails to repeat themselves, they would have to find themselves after their disappointing loss earlier on. Tottenham would be determined to hold on. It is the all English champions league quarterfinals.
Manchester City
Manchester City has had a good season so far. However, when the season ends, they would have the chance to have created history. Winning all four trophies which are available to them would be something worthy of being remembered for a long time and this is what they are chasing. They have won one already, are in the finals of another and are in pole position to clinch the title in the league. However, the champions league is looking quite shaky, to say the least. Following their loss to Tottenham at their new stadium, Manchester City would be hoping that they can turn things around when they meet today. It would be interesting to see how this turns out.
Tottenham
Tottenham have let themselves down too much this season. Once upon a time, Tottenham was on the verge of challenging the two top guns in the league this season. However, they have gone from title challengers to struggling for 4th in the league. They would surely feel that they should have done better and would want to show their worth when they meet Manchester City in the champions league. Therefore, when they meet at the Etihad Stadium, you can expect a level of determination from the Spurs. This determination is what is likely to make their encounter a hot fiery one.
Form
Another thing which you would have to consider going into this game would be the form of both teams. Manchester City is in good form in recent times. They have won five of their last six games. Their only loss in those games has come against this team in the first leg. They would be looking to correct that when they play at home in front of their fans. It would surely have an effect on how this match would turn out in the end.
The Spurs, on the other hand, are not doing too bad themselves. They have won four of their last six games in the league. The remaining matches have ended up in losses. They would be confident of their ability to secure an away goal in this game. If they score one, then Manchester City would have to score three to win. One thing is for sure- this game would definitely not be a walkover for anything that is involved.
As we wait to see who would take home the major trophies, we would surely be intrigued as to how this match goes at the end of the day.
