Manchester City v Tottenham: match preview

Can José Mourinho do what no manager has since Slaven Bilic with West
Brom and lead Tottenham to halt the Manchester City juggernaut? The draw on 15 December is the last time Pep Guardiola’s side failed to win, having since reeled off 15 successive victories. Yet what is also true is the last team to beat City were Spurs in November so Mourinho can draw on this as inspiration for his players on Saturday. Jamie Jackson
