Only upcoming opponents Man City and Arsenal can now compete for the title, according to dejected Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, who had no complaints after witnessing his side suffer a wholly deserved North London derby defeat to the Gunners on Sunday evening.
Apparently also facing a hefty fine after Richarlison’s set-to with Ramsdale, Tottenham’s bid for Champions League qualification – and indeed their efforts to persuade Conte to agree a new contract – are faltering, as they occupy fifth position in the standings and are currently five points behind Man United having played a game more. Securing just three victories from their last nine Premier League games is hardly form befitting that of a top-four challenging team, but in a reversal of those numbers,.
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
Boldly claiming that he “does not care” about the destiny of the Premier League title as his side fall further adrift of the Mikel Arteta-led Arsenal, Pep Guardiola could have arguably felt hard done by at Old Trafford, where Man United came back from a goal behind to close the gap on their noisy neighbours.
Having entered the rare territory of back-to-back defeats – also going out of their prized EFL Cup at the hands of Southampton last week – Man City remain second in the rankings but are now eight points adrift of Arsenal on the same number of games, although they will temporarily reduce that gap to five with success on Thursday. However, Man United and Newcastle United are now only one point behind City, who could even drop to third if the Red Devils overcome Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Silva, Haaland, Grealish
Conte can proudly boast to have Guardiola’s number, and Tottenham have undoubtedly enjoyed the better of this fixture of late, but previous successes should count for nought while the Lilywhites struggle for inspiration in all areas of the field. North London-induced shocks have happened at the Etihad before, but it is too much of an ask to back the visitors after the men against boys derby that unfolded on Sunday, so this should be the ideal game for Guardiola’s refreshed champions.
Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Manchester City, predicted by us.
