Tottenham Hotspur face Manchester City in the Premier League tonight, with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to re-take fourth place despite disappointing recent results.
City’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool at the weekend illustrated the gap between City and the league’s top sides, but the champions are currently reasonably well-placed to earn a spot in next season’s Champions League.
And tonight they face a Spurs side who are now on a four-match winning streak, though Ange Postecoglou’s side still sit in 13th.
While a win for the London club will do little bar restore some pride, three points could be vital for City, with Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Aston Villa all chasing them in the race for top four.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game:
The match kicks off at 7.30pm GMT on Wednesday, 26 February at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The match will be shown live in the UK on TNT Sports 3, with coverage starting at 6.30pm. Subscribers can also watch online or on the discovery+ app.

Spurs’ injury crisis has eased somewhat with the returns of Guigliemo Vicario, Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Wilson Odobert in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, first-choice centre-back pairing Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven remain out, alongside Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin.
In attack, Dominic Solanke and Richarlison are likely out until some point next month.
City boss Guardiola is unsure whether Erling Haaland will be fit to play a part against Spurs, though he is hopeful the Norwegian will return to the squad.
John Stones is the latest to join Manuel Akanji on City’s injury list, with Oscar Bobb and Rodri the two longer-term absentees.
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Spence, Gray, Danso, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Tel, Son.
Man City XI: Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez; Savio, Foden, Marmoush, Doku; Haaland.
Tottenham win - 12/5
Draw - 3/1
Man City win - 19/20
Matches between these two sides are notoriously hard to predict, and even more so with both teams in mixed form of late. Nevertheless, City are the more settled of the two and should have enough to earn three points given Spurs’ injury problems, though much could ride on whether Erling Haaland is fit.
