This season, Manchester City 12, 4 draws and 2 losses, performed very well in the city stadium. Among the winning games, there are many games against a strong team like Arsenal. Last round, Manchester City beat Aston Villa 3: 65,438+0 at home. There is almost only one way for Manchester City to win this time. Because the final round of Tottenham against relegated Burnley is no different from Manchester City against West Ham United. Not surprisingly, both teams can win in the final round, but Tottenham scored one point more than Manchester City before. If the game is tied, Manchester City will lose 1 point. If Tottenham win this game, Manchester City will be excluded from the Champions League next season in advance, so only by winning can Manchester City take the lead in the fourth place competition.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the last round of Tottenham Hotspur completed the last home game of the season at White Hart Lane, 1 defeated Bolton, who had nothing to want. After losing one game, and both Liverpool and Aston Villa lost in the last round, only Manchester City was left for the fourth place in the league. Since this round of make-up is a direct dialogue between the two teams, Tottenham will naturally not miss the opportunity to directly sentence the opponent to death. In recent seasons, Tottenham can be called the nemesis of Manchester City. Last season, with Darren Bent's outstanding performance, Tottenham also beat Manchester City at home and away. Tottenham scored 3 goals at home for the first time this season, which has a certain psychological advantage in the past record.
It's just that Tottenham's away record this season is not satisfactory, and the record of 6 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses is not satisfactory. Although Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have lost, there are also weak teams like Wolves. In terms of players, goalkeeper Gomez, who has staged many key saves this season, was suspected of groin injury in the last round, and it is doubtful whether he can play in this game. No.2 goalkeeper Cudicini was seriously injured, and No.3 goalkeeper Alinvik, who has hardly played this season, may have to provoke the main beam. At this point, Tottenham have no psychological advantage over given's injury. At the same time, the Tottenham striker has been very inefficient recently, and the number of opportunities wasted on Bolton in the last game is amazing. Compared with the Manchester City striker who has been in good shape recently, the Tottenham striker is in urgent need of self-redemption.
The schedule arranged by the Football Association is unfortunate. First, the competition for the championship collided with the top four groups, and then the decisive battle within the top four groups, the battle of Tianwangshan, was triggered at Manchester City Stadium in the early hours of Thursday.
