Key battle
Kieran Trippier v Raheem Sterling: Two of England’s FIFA World Cup stars of last summer will likely be in direct opposition in north London. Trippier has not always been at his best this term but will need to be on red alert if he is to tame Sterling, who having scored eight goals in his last seven appearances for club and country, is widely tipped as a potential Premier League Player of the Season.
Tottenham
Last game: Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace (Wednesday)
Form: WLLWDLLWWWW
Spurs had taken one point from their previous five Premier League matches when they took on Palace in the first game at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium; Heung-Min Son opened the scoring in a 2-0 victory. They did not play this weekend.
Man. City
Last game: Man. City 1-0 Brighton (Saturday, FA Cup semi-final)
Form: WWWWWWWWDW
Gabriel Jesus got the only goal at Wembley as City continued their hunt for four trophies this season. They make the trip to Spurs unbeaten in 14 in all competitions
Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham coach
We [Pochettino and Guardiola] met in Spain and played a lot of games against each other and it was always tough to play against Barcelona. We are going to be aggressive and try to play and beat them. We are going to play a quarter-final, not a friendly. The big teams and players love to play these games. We need to match every situation with City. It will be 11 players against 11 players and hopefully we can win.
Pep Guardiola, Man. City coach
We know what we are going to face and it’s in our heads how we handle it. If we want to progress as a team we have to handle it. Always when we play against them, they play in that way [aggressively]. If they do it, we have to try to do it more. Kyle Walker feels better and Ben Mendy recovered well. I think they are contenders [to play].
