Tottenham v Manchester City: match preview

Tottenham v Manchester City
Tottenham v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

José Mourinho has not always seen eye to eye with Pep Guardiola as they have clashed across divides in Spain and Manchester. There was also that Champions League semi-final between Mourinho’s Internazionale and Guardiola’s Barcelona. But on the eve of this showpiece, Mourinho wanted to remind everybody of the four years that they spent together, when he was a translator then assistant manager at Barcelona and Guardiola was a player. Forget the sideshow, he suggested. Sunday is all about the football. David Hytner
