Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City will meet on Tuesday night in the first of their three games over an 11 day period.
Robert Huth has stated that it ‘doesn’t matter’ where the game is being played in regards to Kevin De Bruyne’s comments about Tottenham’s new stadium.

De Bruyne’s carefree comments didn’t sit well with the White Hart Lane faithful, who will be hoping to show their worth on the night.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live (08/04/2019 at 7:35 pm), former Chelsea defender, Huth made his feelings clear regarding De Bruyne’s comments as he seemingly backed him for what he said.
“I think he [De Bruyne] believes that [his comments],” Huth told BBC Radio 5 Live. “When you are on the pitch, you don’t sort of look around and admire the amazing new stand or anything like that.
“Plus, he [De Bruyne] would have played in some amazing stadiums anyway. Would they be that much louder? I personally can’t see it. But from a players point of view, you are there to do your job. It doesn’t matter where the game is. You just rock up and get the job done.”
It has been a long wait for Tottenham to move into their new stadium as they have been using Wembley as their temporary home in recent seasons.
But last Wednesday, that was put to bed and they officially opened their new home with a bang by beating Crystal Palace 2-0.
It’s a positive start for the North London club, but they will face an even bigger challenge when City take to the field on Tuesday.
The likes of Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Bernando Silva will be a threat to Pochettino’s side in the attacking third.
