For the third time in ten days, Tottenham Hotspur is facing Manchester City. This time, however, it’s in Premier League competition, not the Champions League. That doesn’t make it any less important. Spurs need every point they can get in order to be assured of finishing top four, and City are in a dogfight with Liverpool for the Premier League title. They can’t afford to drop any points either. The last match between these two sides was an instant classic featuring four goals in the opening 11 minutes. It’s unlikely we’ll see those kind of fireworks again today, but you never know. Both sides will be digging deep into their bench for fit players. Both teams will be exhausted. And both sides will probably be quite happy to see the backs of the other team when this match is finally finished. COYS!

If they can win their remaining five matches, they’ll lift the Premier League trophy for the third time in their history. Meanwhile, Spurs are obviously riding high after reaching the Champions League semifinals at the expense of City. Despite their hopes of European glory increasing, they still have to worry about securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. They sit third in the table coming into play this weekend, but only one point separates them and fifth-place Chelsea. City was celebrating knocking Spurs out of the Champions League not three days ago. If not for VAR ruling out the goal, they might’ve demoralized Spurs, making this weekend a foregone conclusion. Instead, they’re left reeling, in desperate need of three points to avoid a massive letdown of a season. The stakes don’t get much higher than this. It should be a season-defining match for both clubs. We recommend interesting sports viewing and streaming opportunities.

Match Preview Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes his side are entering the most important week of the season , with Champions League and Premier League clashes with Tottenham as the Citizens chase all four major titles. Although they lie second in the Premier League two points behind Liverpool , they hold a one-game advantage. The situation is equally delicate in the Champions League, in which they trail Spurs 1-0 after the first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That adds up to make the few days decisive in the Spaniard’s eyes. “If we don't win these games, we will be out in two competitions. They are finals for us,” he said. “All the games are tough. We don't have rest. We play nine, 10 or 11 games more than Liverpool and I love this challenge.” He might have played down his side’s chances of completing a clean sweep of titles this season, but he has been bullish about their prospects of progression in Europe to reach the final four. City have reached such heights only once previously in their history, but their lack of away goal complicates their task ahead of this return match. Nevertheless, the Catalan is more than optimistic about City’s prospects of progression. “If you ask me what is going to happen, we'll be in the semi-finals; that is what I feel right now,” Guardiola told Sky Sports. “It's what I felt right after the game and when I reviewed the game. Maybe I'm wrong but what I feel now, we'll be in the semi-finals. “The result is not ideal but it's not a disaster. We are able to score goals and we are going to do it.” Sergio Aguero saw his penalty saved early in the first leg by Hugo Lloris, and the World Cup winner has urged his Tottenham team-mates to take an aggressive approach into this game . “Wednesday is going to be a different game. We have a small advantage but everything can turn very quickly,” he warned. “It is important to come here with ambition, stick with our basics. If we come here with the mentality to score goals it is going to make things tough for Man City. “We know we will suffer but it is important we are ambitious.” Having described his penalty stop as a “key” moment in the first leg, he went on to discuss the wider-reaching consequences of the save. “We know in the Champions League it is important not to concede a goal at home. It can help you for the return game away,” he said.<doc-sep>How to watch Manchester City vs. Tottenham in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Saturday, April 20.

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are nearing kickoff at the Etihad in the second leg of their Champions League Quarterfinal clash. Man City come into the match down 1-0, but with all of the advantage given their recent run of form. Spurs are the plucky underdog in this one, and with a perfect night of defending, the slim lead established at home might be all they need to advance tonight. Champions League Quarterfinals Manchester City vs Tottenham Date: Wednesday, April 17 Time: 3:00 PM ET TV Channel: TNT, Univision Deportes, UniMas Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free) City finds themselves in a familiar situation. Just last season they fell to English opposition at this same stage, getting knocked out by Liverpool. For all of their domestic success in the last decade, Champions League glory has eluded them. They’ll need to be on top of their game tonight if they are to advance to the semifinals for only the second time. Without an away goal to their name, they must avoid conceding a goal to Spurs at home or their task will become much more difficult. As far as Spurs go, they have once again been bitten by the injury bug. Harry Kane, their main goal threat, is out for an extended period of time with an ankle injury he suffered in the first leg of this tie. They’ll need the likes of Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura to step up and fill that scoring void. The Brazilian did just that at the weekend, notching a hat trick in a 4-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday. City was also victorious, beating Crystal Palace, 3-1. Sergio Aguero limped off injured during that match, giving his side a scare. But, he has been deemed fit ahead of this crucial second leg. Will City’s hopes of a historic quadruple live on or will Spurs play spoiler? It promises to be an exciting night in Manchester as one of these Premier League sides books their spot in the semifinals. We recommend interesting sports viewing and streaming opportunities.
