Spurs pulled out a victory at the home of their rivals for fourth last May to secure their first ever adventure in Europe's premier competition but Manchester City are expected to gain revenge in the sweetest way possible against the same opponents tonight.
The Lilywhites have triumphed in six of their last seven away games against the Citizens, however they are heading into the latest collision on a dreadful run of one win in 12 outings in all competitions and having failed to beat the Blues at White Hart Lane for the first time in seven years.
Harry Redknapp's side know that they realistically require three points to stand a chance of catching their hosts, yet the reality is that even achieving a draw will be challenging on current form, not least as Manchester City have won six successive home encounters, keeping five clean sheets in that time.
In total, Roberto Mancini's men have shut out the opposition in eight of their last ten fixtures in front of their fans, so odds of [2.8] on them keeping Rafael van der Vaart and co quiet are worth considering, as is the [3.4] prospect of a Manchester City win to nil.
Manchester City v Tottenham

Think Tottenham will stay in the hunt? They are [4.6] to triumph again...
