City still have a lot to win, and a lot to lose, this season
After their titanic Champions League battle on Wednesday, City and Spurs will have to do it all again on Saturday lunchtime in the Premier League, where as much is at stake for both teams.
While their quadruple hopes are now over after the dramatic Champions League quarter-final defeat, City are still on the hunt for a second straight league crown.
Pep Guardiola’s side currently sit one point behind leaders Liverpool but have a game in hand, and know winning all five of their remaining matches will see them lift the trophy.

Spurs claimed a dramatic victory over Man City in their Champions League quarter-final
But should Spurs produce another stunning victory at the Etihad, Mills believes City can kiss their title hopes goodbye.
“If Manchester City don’t win this game, the title is gone for them,†said the former City and England defender on Friday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
“Within the space of four days, out of the Champions League and Premier League…
“They’ve still got the FA Cup to go for, but they could end up with one trophy and is that failure?
“It’s such a fine line Manchester City tread.
“It’s not going to be an easy game for Tottenham, either. I think it will be very difficult for Spurs to raise themselves, there will be a hangover and I’m not sure they can play with the same intensity.

Raheem Sterling scored twice against Spurs, but it wasn’t enough for Man City to progress
“They picked up one or two injuries in the game as well and we know Man City have an incredibly deep squad of talent to pull on.
“This is another huge game. To raise yourself again, it’s not going to be easy. The emotions from the other night would have been so, so draining.

“It was an incredible, end-to-end game, goals from all over the place. This has almost got 0-0 written all over it now, it could be the most boring game ever.
