Tottenham Form and Team News

Tottenham Hotspur’s journey has been subject to so much bullying and degradation, this is not because they are losing, it is because they are not winning trophies. They finished last season in the seventh position just about managing to secure the conference cup qualification. They are opening their campaign against Manchester City on Sunday at home. Tottenham’s recent form has been decent, they have won six in the last ten and have lost two games in the lead up to this game while also drawing two games in the process. Tottenham have the team to win everything they play, and this is possible only if they start believing and performing to the fullest.

Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been roped in as the manager for the season’s to come. He was such an inspirational head of the clan while being at Wolverhampton and the only thing he was lacking there was winning trophies, and the only thing lacking here is winning trophies, It’ll be interesting to see how the team reacts to his calls. Captain Kane is still in the mix with strong rumours of him joining City doing the rounds still.

Manchester City Form and Team News

Manchester City in the last season could’ve easily won the treble which not many English clubs could’ve boasted of, they would’ve become one of the very few teams to do that, but as said it was not meant to be. They lost a close Champions League final to Chelsea and thus were not able to accomplish the feat. They are playing against Tottenham in their first match and they would want to start on a positive note. City are one of Europe’s best teams presently with the system they have in place and the team composition, they can hope to get the most coveted European Championship a least this time around if they play slightly better on the front.

Pep’s barren run in terms of Champions League title continues after the last final, but he would take heart from the fact that they were able to reach the final in the first case and were so close to win the treble. He’ll probably have his say in this season at least and come out with triumphs, let’s see. The 100m man Jack Grealish is in the setup for City and they are still trying to get Kane too in the mix. This team was strong before, but with these two signings, they’ll become even more lethal.
