Pep Guardiola has admitted he and Manchester City will feel “squeaky bum time” before their pivotal visit to Tottenham on Tuesday as they seek to win a record fourth consecutive title.

City are second, one point behind Arsenal, having played a game fewer. The trip to Spurs is their match in hand before the final day on ­Sunday, when they host West Ham and ­Arsenal are at home against Everton.
