Is Man City vs Tottenham on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

PA Wire

Tottenham face the daunting trip to Manchester City this afternoon looking for a performance and result to block out the noise from Antonio Conte.

The Italian has been bemoaning his situation in north London after the January transfer window, despite spending big to land Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus.

But City are flying after a sumptuous performance midweek to all but eliminate Sporting and advance to the Champions League quarter-finals with the return leg to come after securing a 5-0 advantage.

Eric Dier is back in training and pushing for a start, while Japhet Tanganga will not make it here and Oliver Skipp is unlikely to be available.

Odds

Man City will have too much for Spurs surely, but Conte has had time to prepare and also the simplicity of the game plan, which could ensure a testing period for City before they eventually crack. Man City 2-0 Tottenham.
