Pep Guardiola made a comment about Tottenham in 2017 that did not go down well at Hotspur Way.
The Manchester City boss described Tottenham as the "Harry Kane team" as the early season battle at the top of the table started hotting up.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was less than impressed, describing the comments as "disrespectful" and Guardiola later admitted he was wrong to say that about his rivals.
Tottenham host City at their brand new stadium in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Kane set to lead the line for the hosts.

During his pre-match press conference, Guardiola was once again asked the side his team were facing was the Harry Kane team and he had a glint in his eye when he first responded.
He said: "No I cannot say that or Mauricio will be angry and I don’t want it.
"I think my colleague misunderstood me. In that period, Kane had scored a lot and that was why I said it. I know Spurs is not just Harry Kane, the club is strong and have a lot of potential.
"They are strong in all departments. It’s an incredible team, Harry Kane who can deny is an incredible striker and he has everything. He is a modern striker but not just him, we know and we knew it then."
