Are we on the road to greater things now?

Tomorrow, at 5.30, we face undefeated City; whom many experts believe has already won the league. Granted, they've been on a good run, but like all runs, they must come to an end. As it did for them last season. And who stopped them, then? You've got it. 

We've had a few ups and downs since we moved to Wembley this season, but funnily enough we've only been beaten once at home, our first game against Chelsea. This match, however, isn't at Wembley, but on City's own ground. So they will feel mighty confident. Even though we've been beaten by Leicester City, United and Arsenal away we are still confident we can stop City's run. I personally believe we can do it and I will say, by 3goals to one. 

As I have said many times before, if we can go to Real Madrid, Dortmund and get good results, even beating them both at Wembley then we shouldn't fear anybody. And that is what I said at the time and that is what I say now.

Team news

City will probably recall Sane and Walker. But Kompany, Stones and Mendy are still out of it.

As for us: Sanchez is still banned, while Alli and Dembele might feature after being partially rested on Wednesday.  It is suspected that Davies and Trippier might also get a look in. 

Tottenham central defender Davinson Sanchez must complete a three-game ban.

If Kane scores this calendar year, by 3, goals, he will equal Alan Shearer's record.

• A month later, Pochettino claimed his first ever win by guiding Espanyol to a 2-1 league victory against Barca at the Camp Nou on 21 February.
