Match Stats

Tottenham Hotspur：

Tottenham Hotspur, facing an absence of European competition and an early EFL Cup exit, pins their hopes on the FA Cup to break a 16-year trophy drought. A recent draw against Manchester United adds pressure to secure success in the FA Cup, a competition where they haven't suffered a fourth-round exit since 2018-19. Tottenham's clash with reigning champions Manchester City presents a significant challenge, marking their first FA Cup home tie against the champions since 1952.

Manchester City：

Defending champions Manchester City aim to avoid a first-ever fourth-round FA Cup exit since 2014-15, following a dominant start with a 5-0 win against Huddersfield Town. City, with a five-point gap behind Liverpool in the Premier League, looks to build on their recent success, especially after a crucial late win against Newcastle. However, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a stumbling block for City, where they have lost all five games without scoring a goal. Guardiola's side faces a tough test against Tottenham as they strive to stay alive in the FA Cup.

Analysis：

Tottenham faces notable absences with Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Son Heung-min unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup commitments. Injuries sideline Scarlett, Veliz, Lo Celso, and Davies, while Maddison and Solomon target returns. Kulusevski and Sessegnon are expected back, and Van de Ven's issue was just cramp. Manchester City may continue with Ortega in goal, as Ederson's status remains uncertain. Haaland is unlikely to return, and Stones and Akanji face doubts for the fourth-round clash, with Guardiola considering Akanji's inclusion in the squad.
