Tottenham and Manchester City Clash in FA Cup Fourth Round Showdown

The highly anticipated FA Cup fourth round clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City promises to deliver an exhilarating showdown between two heavyweight teams. Taking place on Friday, January 26, both teams have had a well-deserved break due to the winter break and are ready to renew their intriguing rivalry for a coveted spot in the fifth round.

Despite being dominant in English football for the past decade, City has had a difficult time against Tottenham at their new stadium, failing to secure a victory or even score a goal in every visit so far. However, with Tottenham missing their captain Heung-min Son, who is on Asian Cup duty, and City’s Kevin De Bruyne returning after a month out due to injury, this game could be the turning point for both teams.

The Tottenham vs Manchester City match is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Football fans can catch the game live and free-to-air on ITV in the UK, with coverage beginning at 7:30pm. Additionally, the match can be streamed online via the ITVX app and website.

Spurs will be without Son, but are boosted by the return of De Bruyne. Tottenham will miss Giovani Lo Celso, while City’s Erling Haaland remains unavailable. Tottenham’s January signing Radu Dragusin may make his debut, and City’s Ederson and John Stones are fit to play.

Tottenham will take confidence from their impressive home record against Manchester City, having secured a late draw during their earlier Premier League clash. However, the absence of Son will pose a challenge, even with the return of De Bruyne. City, on the other hand, are in good shape despite missing Haaland, with De Bruyne and Stones pushing for starting spots.

With their recent history of thrilling encounters, it’s difficult to predict the outcome of this clash between two top-quality teams. That being said, the holders, Manchester City, may have a slight edge in this contest.
