Match Preview:
As was the case during Ange Postecoglou's second season, Tottenham continue to paper over the Premier League cracks with continental plasters, but European success at the expense of domestic humiliation is not the best omen for Thomas Frank.
The former Brentford head coach is yet to lead the Lilywhites to a Premier League victory since the turn of the year, overseeing a miserable three draws and two defeats from Spurs' five top-flight games in 2026, most recently a painful 2-2 stalemate with newly-promoted Burnley.
Once again, Spurs' colossal centre-back duo bailed them out, as Micky van de Ven's opener and Cristian Romero's last-gasp leveller prevented Tottenham from suffering an embarrassing third-straight loss in the top flight, where they currently sit 14th in the table.

One man who has rarely had to worry about being given his P45 - even during Man City's unforeseen plight in 2024-25 - Pep Guardiola squares up to one of his bogey teams with revenge on his mind.
The Sky Blues' Etihad hoodoo against Spurs continued in August's shock 2-0 loss to Frank's men, but the visitors have at least prevailed on their last two trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the top flight and could now win three straight Premier League away games against Spurs for the first time ever.
Speaking of three-match winning streaks, that is also what City will be pursuing in all tournaments after back-to-back 2-0 victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Galatasaray, the latter seeing Guardiola's side join Spurs in the last 16 of the Champions League after Benfica's extraordinary win over Real Madrid.

Match Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Manchester City
No team has won more league games against Guardiola as a manager than Tottenham, but Spurs' Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund proved to be a false dawn in the Premier League - see Burnley.
Even without the dangerous Doku giving his full-back a torrid time, City should still capitalise on Tottenham's domestic struggles and injury crisis to keep the pressure on Arsenal - a worthy sacrifice according to some corners of Spurs social media.
