Manchester City are preparing for a trip to London to take on Tottenham for Sunday’s evening contest.
Spurs will be without Antonio Conte for the foreseeable future after the 53-year-old underwent an emergency operation to remove his gallbladder. Pep Guardiola saw his side come back from a 2-0 half-time deficit to beat Tottenham 4-2 in the reverse fixture only last month.
Afterwards he unfurled a passionate rant about his team’s lack of drive and encouraged supporters to up their game too. He has admitted that this weekend’s fixture will be just as tough for his players, one of whom will not be available for the clash.
