Hugo Lloris has admitted that Man City's extra day of recovery could possibly make the difference when Tottenham travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening. Both sides were involved in Champions League action in the week, with City triumphing 4-0 away at Sevilla on Tuesday and Spurs beating Marseille 2-0 in north London 24 hours later.
Getting the better of Pep Guardiola's men in both their league meetings in 2021/22, Spurs will be hoping to repeat February's heroics at the Etihad Stadium when they secured a last-minute 3-2 win. Both level on 14 points going into the showdown, Lloris has outlined the Erling Haaland aspect that City now have to their game after signing the prolific striker from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
"Honestly, we have to focus on recovering at the moment then we'll prepare for the game as good as we can. We have one day less of recovery and that can make the difference, we know," explained the World Cup winner.
