What are they saying?
"What's important is to focus on the pitch what we have to do to play better, to increase our chances and concede few. That's what we have to do.
"When I'm happy, it's not because of the result but the way we play. That's what I'm more satisfied by.
"I have the feeling we can do better - much, much better. That's what we have to try to insist in them."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola
"It's human nature that the players always want to improve and have different challenges and ideas.
"But I am not worried because in the end it's always three parts in all the situations in football - the players, the club that owns the players, and if another club want some players, and in the end it's to be agreed on different things and try to make everyone happy with the decision.
"We're not worried. We know how our project is and who we are, and in the end we try to develop our project not only thinking about today and tomorrow, but thinking long-term.
"That is so important, because it's not only that we need to win today, tomorrow, after tomorrow. We need to win today, tomorrow and in one year and two, three, four years. That is the plan for Tottenham."
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino

What are the odds?
Manchester City to win:1/2
Draw: 7/2
Tottenham Hotspur to win: 5/1
What's James Ducker's prediction?
Can Spurs be the team to end Manchester City’s extraordinary 15-match winning streak in the league? Their record does not inspire confidence. Since taking charge in 2014, Mauricio Pochettino has won just one of 17 league away matches against the established big six.
Result: 2-1
