The two teams go to the field in search of recovery. However, each has a different purpose at the moment.
Manchester City was defeated in the classic by United, last Saturday, by 2 to 1. The result removed the team, which is in second place, with 39 points, from the leadership of the Premier League. In addition, City has the vice-leadership threatened by its Manchester rival, and may already lose a position in this round.
A victory, therefore, would close the gap of eight points for the leader of the competition, Arsenal, and would give peace of mind for City, who would be one point ahead of Manchester United.
On the other hand, Tottenham also comes from a defeat in a classic: they lost to Arsenal, by 2-0, last Sunday. The result made the team, currently fifth placed, with 33 points, move away from the Champions classification zone. In this way, the victory in Manchester is fundamental for Tottenham to continue in the fight between the leaders of the Premier League.
