'Instant sacking!' - Man City fans can't believe what Pep Guardiola has done vs Tottenham

It's a big night in north London.

Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A place in the last four is up for grabs as the two Premier League sides do battle against one another.

City are the overwhelming favourites, not just for the tie, but for the Champions League crown.

But there is consternation among the fans before a ball has even been kicked tonight.

The team news is in and while Mauricio Pochettino has named the side that many would have expected, his opposite number has got the Man City fans in all kinds of a dither.

Guardiola has named Fabian Delph at left-back - only the former Aston Villa man's third start of 2019 - the previous two coming against Burton Albion and Swansea City.

Not only that, but Leroy Sane and Kevin de Bruyne have both been left out of the starting lineup, being named only on the bench for the big clash.

And the City fans are up in arms with the decisions.

Here's what they have been saying on Twitter ahead of kick-off against Tottenam.
