Spursvs.Man City

sportsmole.co.uk, 27 October 2024, 12:34
Manchester City will be aiming to make it six wins in a row in all competitions when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the last-16 stage of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola's side will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 victory over Southampton in the league, with the result moving them two points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

The Citizens, who recorded a 2-1 victory over Watford in the last stage of the competition, are eight-time winners of the League Cup, with their last success in the competition coming back in 2020-21.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Ange Postecoglou's side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
