Besides I remember a much worse time of Manchester City in the past and their incredible comeback for the title as well.
On the contrary, i think Manchester city will not be on so much pressure against Tottenham, instead Conte and his boys will be the one playing with immense pressure considering their poor form since the league restarted. Pep team always bounce back after a bad spell and i am looking forward to the boys bouncing back to form against Spurs (who are also lacklustre in front of goals).
Tottenham are having problems at the moment. The team has been losing points frequently of late. Tottenham lost to Arsenal (0-2) and Spurs also lost to Aston Villa 0-2. The fans are complaining about coach Antonio Conte. In general, Tottenham are not in fighting form at the moment.
I think Manchester City have to win now. Especially for them, it is a home game. I think Guardiola will be able to set his players up properly.
