Club football is due to take a break, but not without one more exciting round of the English Premier League. The standout fixture of Matchday 7 will take place on Sunday, as Manchester City prepare to lock horns with Tottenham.
Both teams head into this clash fresh off their Champions League campaign, with Spurs winning their fixture whilst the Citizens settled for a 3-3 draw with Celtic.
Nonetheless, Pep Guardiola’s boys are top of the league and have won all of their six opening games ahead of their clash with the league’s second-placed club.
Speaking ahead of the game, Guardiola – a win away from becoming the only manager to win his first seven Premier League games – held high praise for the opposing team’s manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Speaking to the press, the former Barca boss said (as per Man City’s official website): “I played against Pochettino as a player and then as a coach. I think he’s one of the best managers in the world - I enjoy watching Tottenham.
“He’s doing an amazing job in London at Spurs. The way they play I like a lot - they’re aggressive and have a lot of quality. The basis of the team is the national team with Alli, Walker, Kane - they have a lot of quality. Last season they were there until the last couple of games for the Championship.
“This year they’re playing at a high level - they’re in second position so it will be a tough game and I’m looking forward to going to White Hart Lane for the first time in my life. We will try and do our job.”
Beating Pep is nothing new to Pochettino, having triumphed over the Spaniard’s Barcelona side back in February 2009 whilst at Espanyol.
