Man City v Tottenham match preview
By: j | May 15th, 2009The Citizens quest for a Europa League spot continue on Saturday afternoon as they travel to White Hart Lane to face resurgent Tottenham. Trailing seventh place Fulham by three points with two matches remaining, Mark Hughes chances reside on winning out.
Although much attention is given to Man City’s European berth and the obvious potential impact of new signings during the transfer season, the Spurs under Harry Redknapp are nothing short of remarkable. After taking over the club in ruins from Juande Ramos’ “approach”, the sixty-two year old manager has seen the side climb from the relegation zone to within a whisper of European football and regardless of their final position are most turnaround of the campaign.
The match is a peculiar mix of late season drama with both sides far from one-hundred per cent. The Spurs are approaching a “who’s left” stage with a enormous series of absences including Darren Bent and Aaron Lennon. For Mark Hughes, he will need to go forward without the services of Robinho although there is a chance that Shaun Wright-Phillips could return and of-course have had serious difficulties whilst playing outside of Eastlands. If they are to capture a spot in Europe, that must end with three points for the trip home.
