Can Tottenham Pull Off The Upset Against Manchester City?
Published on April 5th, 2019 4:28 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel

While Tottenham has been one of the top teams in the English Premier League this season, there is still a wide gulf between themselves and Manchester City. Manchester City seems intent on winning both the English Premier League and Champions League this season, and Tottenham will likely have a very hard time stopping them.
Tottenham, as mentioned, is the third place team in the EPL this season, though they are a full 16 points behind Manchester City. Tottenham has been good, though Manchester City has been dominant, as they have an eye-popping 62 GD through 32 EPL games this season.
After losing to Lyon on September 19th, Man City has been dominant in Champions League action, compiling a record of 6-1-0 while thrashing the likes of Schalke 04 and Shakhtar.
Tottenham, on the other hand, looked impressive against Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16, winning 4-0 in aggregate.
Man City, however, is a different beast, and Tottenham will need to play their very best for 180 minutes of total action to have a chance.

Tottenham will be relying heavily on Harry Kane in order to take them to the promised land against Man City.
Man City, however, has a number of serious goal-scoring threats, including the current leading contender for the Golden Boot, Sergio Aguero.
Tottenham is a good club, though Man City is great. Strange things can happen in Champions League, though Tottenham will likely need a minor miracle to get through against Man City.
