Tottenham take on the visitors Manchester City in the postponed round 34 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 14th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham initially anticipated a challenging season – against the backdrop of last season's decline, following Harry Kane's departure, and with a dark horse at the managerial post in the form of Postecoglou, a coach experienced and successful but working with clubs of this level in the top division for the first time. The Australian started powerfully, breaking records for debutants, and overall, he and his team performed well. But at a crucial moment, when it seemed they were about to overcome a late slowdown against Aston Villa, the Spurs delivered a blatantly unsuccessful stretch. First, they suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat to Newcastle, then lost the derby to Arsenal and had no response to Chelsea's couple of goals. Then it was Liverpool who ended their black streak at Anfield. Only the mistakes of the Villans still left chances to finish in the top four. As long as there's hope – they narrowly defeated Burnley 2-1.

Manchester City couldn't repeat the treble but are aiming for another double. The Citizens are very good. It won't console them, but they finished the Champions League undefeated. After draws in both games, where the Citizens dominated, Lunin confirmed his status as Real Madrid's hero by winning the penalty shootout. Such a turn of events shocked Guardiola's wards, from which they barely recovered, and only due to Chelsea's players' failure to score and a late goal from Bernardo Silva did they manage to reach the final by defeating the aristocrats 1-0 at Wembley. However, there were no such problems afterward; on the contrary, regaining composure, the favorite began to secure confident victories in the Premier League. As a result, Liverpool dropped out of the title race back in April, but the Gunners stubbornly remained in contention. In the last round, they secured another victory against Fulham, but the London rival also won a crucial clash against Manchester United.
Surprisingly, in the last six face-to-face matches under different managers, Hotspurs have been stronger three times. Already this season, they played a 3-3 draw in the Premier League. And in the EFL Cup, they only scored the sole goal in the very end. The visitors are expectedly considered clear favorites. But the hosts must step up, clinging to their last chance to break into the final top four. Let's bet on over 3.5 goals in total.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 scored goals.
