Antonio Conte has ruled Manchester United out of the title race ahead of Tottenham's showdown with Manchester City this week.
Spurs, who were comprehensively beaten in the north London derby by Arsenal on Sunday, travel to the Etihad on Thursday night just days after Pep Guardiola's side were stunned by Manchester United in their own derby.
Both sides will be desperate to make amends: especially City, who have now fallen eight points behind Arsenal in the title race. Their 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford also allowed United to close the gap on them in the table, with Erik ten Hag's side now just a point behind the reigning champions.
