Manchester City's Mateo Kovacic is back from injury, while Tottenham are still full of injuries
Since the Champions League has been qualified two rounds early, Manchester City has made a lot of changes in midweek, Doku, Ake, Alvarez and Ederson are all sitting on the bench, obviously to save time for the weekend Tottenham. Due to the recent draws in the league by Chelsea and Liverpool, Manchester City has lost the top position, with a proud person like Guardiola, he naturally hopes to quickly regain the top spot, at least to spend this Christmas as the top of the league.
Recently, Manchester City basically no longer plays the 4231 that the team is most familiar with, but insists on 3421, and completely gives the side to Doku and Foden to impact. This did unleash City's attacking talent on the flanks to the fullest, but the problem that came with it was that the wide defence became less solid. Although Stones and Kovacic can both return from injury this round, the two have not been able to solve the problem of the hole in the wing defense after Guardiola changed to three central defenders.
Tottenham have suffered three defeats in a row after the injury spread, and after being beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa in the last round, Tottenham fell out of the top four. But Postecoglou is also helpless, because there are too many injury problems, and even injured Bentancur in the last round. Tottenham Hotspur have no injured players to return to this round, and the only one who can return to the main squad is the defender Bissouma, who has returned from suspension. However, Bissouma's midfield partner Sarr continues to be injured, so Denmark's Hojbjerg, who was previously pressed to the bench by Postecoglou, was confirmed to start this round.
With such a serious injury problem, perhaps many fans feel that Tottenham is basically certain that Xiti has lost four in a row. However, it should be noted that Tottenham's wide attack is very active, whether it is Kulusevski or Brennan Johnson, who recently replaced Richarlison and entered the starting lineup, both have strong individual ability on the wing. After Manchester City changed to three central defenders, the wing defense problem was not small. Postecoglou can make a fuss on the side, even if he can't defend it, then he can attack against Manchester City, Son Heung-min is in such a good state, Tottenham still has the confidence to play against Manchester City.
In this game, Manchester City initially gave a 1.25 game difficulty, and then even raised two gears in a row to a 1.75 game difficulty, and the director was in place in one step and directly gave two goals. seems to be very supportive of Manchester City's attitude, but it is this excessive supportive attitude that makes people wonder if the director is setting a trap for everyone to take the initiative to jump into it. You must know that this game is an unpopular model of "single pass + win and draw + concede two goals", and the probability of the right way is very small. Therefore, Tottenham, who is trembling in this old wheat meeting, will not lose more than two goals away.
