Former West Ham United midfielder Don Hutchison has claimed on Twitter that Tottenham Hotspur can gain a point against Manchester City on Saturday evening.

Mauricio Pochettino takes his Spurs side to the Etihad with avoiding defeat likely to be the only way they can keep their faint Premier League title hopes alive, as Pep Guardiola’s men sit 18 points clear of Spurs.

City have won 15 Premier League matches in a row following their 4-0 rout of Swansea City on Wednesday night, winning 16 and drawing one of their 17 league games so far this season.

However, Hutchison believes Tottenham can gain a point but believes “City will be better if Spurs attack them”, but then contradicted himself by stating it is only was Spurs can claim victory over Guardiola’s side.

Spurs earned a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium last time they travelled to Manchester, as well as beating City 2-0 at White Hart Lane in October 2016 thanks to a Dele Alli strike and an Aleksandar Kolarov own goal.

Both sides come into the match in good form, but City will be deemed huge favourites despite Spurs beating Stoke City 5-1 and Brighton 2-0 in their last two outings.

Three points for Spurs could close the gap between themselves and Chelsea to just a point, if the Blues lose to Southampton.
