    Manchester City won the game on Wednesday and kept up their winning run but still went out so that was a real hammer blow.

    It is about the mental fortitude to deal with the fact that City have to win every single game until the end of the season.

    Pep Guardiola prepares his teams so forensically that they will be ready for today though. Tottenham's tails are up so there is pressure on City today and it really is in the balance.

    Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho could be fit to start, having played as a substitute against Spurs in midweek on his return from a muscular problem.

    Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has been out with a hamstring injury, will be assessed.

    Tottenham look likely to be without Moussa Sissoko, who was substituted on Wednesday because of a groin problem.

    Eric Dier returned to training on Friday after a hip injury and could be involved this weekend.

    Serge Aurier, Harry Winks and Harry Kane remain out.

    But today, as the sides prepare to face each other for a third time in 12 days, is all about the Premier League.

    Manchester City know a win will take them back to the top of the table, while Spurs need a result of their own to boost their hopes of a top-four finish.

    Should the visitors fear a City backlash?

    A crazy second leg went something like this...

    4 mins: Raheem Sterling opens the scoring with a superb individual effort

    7 mins: Son Heung-min levels on the night and puts Spurs ahead in the tie

    10 mins: Son scores again to leave City needing four goals to progress

    11 mins: Bernardo Silva makes it 2-2 on the night, but City still need two goals

    21 mins: Sterling grabs his second, City are one goal from the semi-finals

    59 mins: Sergio Aguero scores to put City in front in the tie

    73 mins: Fernando Llorente bundles in, after much deliberation with VAR the goal is awarded

    90+3 mins: Sterling thinks he's won it, but the goal is ruled out by VAR for offside

    Yes, Manchester City fans must be sick of the sight of Fernando Llorente's hip/arm...

    City may have won the battle on Wednesday night, but their 4-3 victory wasn't enough to clinch the Champions League war as Llorente's controversial third - and a VAR-disallowed stoppage-time effort from Raheem Sterling - ensured Spurs edged through on away goals following their 1-0 victory at home a week earlier.

    After a game that was packed with more drama than a Christmas special in Albert Square, more of an emotional rollercoaster than a night on the couch watching Leo and Kate and more unpredictable than a lock-in at the Garrison with Arthur Shelby, it was Tottenham who squeezed through by the skin of their VAR-coated teeth.
