Manchester City will play host to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Ex-Spurs boss Harry Redknapp spoke exclusively to talkSPORT today, and shared his belief that Tottenham will be Manchester City’s biggest test of the season so far, ahead of the highly anticipated clash between the pair at the Etihad on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s rampant City side currently sit comfortably at the top of the Premier League table, 11 points clear of second placed Manchester United, whilst Mauricio Pochettino’s men occupy fourth spot, 18 points adrift of the Citizens.
Saturday’s game should be a classic, with the Lilywhites seemingly back to somewhere near their best, and City’s continued brilliance.
Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola
Redknapp, who managed Spurs for four years, spoke exclusively to talkSPORT this morning, warning Pep Guardiola that his side will be in for an extremely tough examination when Tottenham visit the Etihad this weekend:
“Spurs is going to be a big test for Man City. Tottenham will be their biggest test. If Tottenham are firing on all cylinders, they can certainly give Man City a real game at the weekend.”
If Pochettino’s men genuinely harbour ambitions of challenging for the Premier League title this season, they will obviously have to win at the Etihad, but with Guardiola’s side on the back of 15 straight wins in the league, and full of confidence, that will be easier said than done.
