Analysis:
The Citizens are coming on the back of a 2-1 win over Aston Villa and that was a clear indication that they had bounced back after the FA Cup semi-final exit. Phil Foden and Rodri had scored goals for City and it was an absolute comprehensive win. A Carabao Cup win in this game will make sure City win the title for the 8th time and for the 4th successful time.
Tottenham have recently sacked their manager Jose Mourinho and they had won the last game without him. They are coming on the back of a 2-1 win over Southampton and should have the necessary confidence and momentum to take on a giant team like Manchester City. Gareth Bale and Son Heung-min had scored goals. The penalty came in the 90th minute and Heung-min ensured Tottenham got 2 extra points. The Spurs are presently in the 7th position of the table.
