Højbjerg and Grealish get caught in a collision but can probably continue.
33
18:04
Kyle Walker has the ball in midfield on the right and wants to play forward, but just can’t find a pass and it’s back to Ederson. In despair, Walker throws up his hands and complains to his colleagues. That pretty much sums it up because the visitors’ game just lacks movement.
30
18:00
Suddenly Tottenham Hotspur is in this match. The hosts have taken command in midfield, can no longer be pushed back and are playing forward themselves.
28
17:59
The hosts’ next counterattack looks promising at first, but in the end Son and Kulusevski can’t complete it. After the following corner, Perišić looks for Kane at the back post but doesn’t find him.

Cristian Romero (Tottenham Hotspur) receives a yellow card
Deep in the opposing half, Romero Haaland strides hard without any chance of getting the ball and without any sense. Next yellow against Spurs.
25
17:56
Tottenham has adapted well to the Skyblues game and leaves little room for the guests. City currently lack the opportunity to get up to speed.
23
17:52
Rodrigo Bentancur (Tottenham Hotspur) is shown a yellow card.
Bentancur resolutely clears Lewis in midfield and earns the first card of the game.

17:51
For all the superiority of the Citizens, however, it must also be said that there have not been any great opportunities so far. In the last third there is a lack of movement and ideas and the Spurs defend it confidently.
19
17:50
Of course, the goal doesn’t change anything in the game. The guests keep running and consistently press on the gas. Bernardo Silva pulls from 20 meters, but cannot trouble Hugo Lloris with his left-footed shot.
18
17:49
Rarely has a goal turned the game upside down like this one. City were in complete control of the match before an individual error put Tottenham ahead. Accordingly, Pep Guardiola is also outside at the moment.
16
17:48
Kane’s goal is historic in two ways. On the one hand it was the Englishman’s 200th Premier League goal, on the other hand he is now Spurs’ sole record goalscorer with 267 goals.

Tooor for Tottenham Hotspur, 1-0 by Harry Kane
Unbelievable! City dominates the match, Tottenham is not allowed to play at all and still scores! Rodri plays a disastrous pass just in front of his own penalty area, which Pierre-Emile Højbjerg intercepts. In the penalty area, the Dane lays across to Harry Kane, who easily nets the ball from nine yards out on the bottom left.

Kyle Walker smashed a sharp right-back cross into the back post and would have found Jack Grealish if Emerson Royal hadn’t cleared at the last second.
11.
17:41
City has the ball almost continuously and pushes continuously. Tottenham is only concerned with defending and has not set any offensive accents at all.

17:39
The Citizens are incredibly aggressive in this initial phase and win a lot of balls deep in the opposing half. Even a fine spirit like Bernardo Silva has two successful slide tackles under his belt.

17:38
The next corner also brings danger because Álvarez can then pull the trigger from the back. But his powerful conclusion is blocked.
5.
17:35
Now City has its first phase of pressure and works out a corner kick. At the far post, Nathan Aké is completely free but can’t get any pressure behind his header.
3.
17:34
The hosts act as usual in a 3-4-2-1. At City it was not clear in advance what Pep Guardiola had come up with. So far off the ball it looks like a back four with Walker and Lewis on the outside and Aké and Akanji on the inside. In possession of the ball, Lewis then pushes centrally in midfield.
2.
17:33
Heung-min Son immediately starts with a fast-paced solo from his own to the opponent’s penalty area, but is caught there without any problems.
1.
17:31
Let’s go! The visitors clink glasses in red and black, with Tottenham wearing white as usual.
17:27
The game will be directed by Andy Madley. The 39-year-old referee is leading the teams onto the pitch of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at this moment and in a few moments it’s time to get going in London!
17:20
The focus is again today on the goalscorer duel between Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Kane can become Spurs’ new sole record scorer with a goal today, Haaland wants to further expand his crazy goal quota after his recent triple pack harrowing the Wolves.
17:06
The Citizens also received Schützenhilfe yesterday. After leaders Arsenal lost 1-0 at Everton, Guardiola’s side can make the title race exciting again with an away win today and reduce the gap to two points. After the 1-0 win against the Gunners in the FA Cup nine days ago, the Skyblues go into the match with confidence and want to win both league games in one season against Tottenham for the first time since 2018. However, Guardiola also warned. “They have the quality to punish you. They are a tough opponent,” said the Spaniard of Spurs.
16:58
The home side are looking to capitalize on the assist West Ham United provided yesterday by tying a draw from Newcastle. With a threesome, the Spurs could move up to one point behind the Magpies in the first place in the Champions League. But they would have to deliver again in front of a home crowd, because four of the last five home games have been lost. “We have to create a good dynamic and deliver a perfect performance in both penalty areas. Because that’s where the game will be decided,” said assistant coach Cristian Stellini, who today stands in for Antonio Conte, who is still in Italy after gallbladder surgery.
16:42
Both coaches have recently made a few changes compared to the FA Cup. At Tottenham, only Bentancur, Perišić, Son and Kulusevski stay in, the rest swap. Among other things, Lloris is back in goal and Kane in the striker. Guardiola, on the other hand, makes four changes. Ederson, Walker, Bernardo Silva and Julián Álvarez will start for Ortega, De Bruyne, Gündoğan (all bench) and Stones (not in the squad).
16:34
It has been less than three weeks since the two completed their first round game, which had been postponed due to scheduling reasons. After being 0:2 behind at the break, City was able to turn the match into a 4:2. As a result, both teams have been unscathed, claiming victories in both the league and the fourth round of the FA Cup.
