SPURS vs MAN CITY

Pundit opinion

Jermaine Jenas has given his views for the BBC. He is one of the better pundits on TV at the moment and seems to be carving out a good career for himself off the field.

“Six games in, Spurs are unbeaten and in second place behind City after making their best start for 51 years, despite blowing hot and cold at times. 
“The fact Tottenham are picking up points even when they are not playing well is an ominous sign for their rivals, as is the way they improved after making a much slower start last season, when they eventually finished third. 
“If they beat City, it will be the sort of statement that will convince many people they are contenders again this year. For me, they have already shown that they are. 
“Because of what I have already seen, I think Tottenham will win at White Hart Lane and also go the distance in the title race.”

Manchester City right-back Pablo Zabaletta has given his views to the Daily Mirror and sees similarities in Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola.

“Mauricio has been compared to Pep and there are similarities. They both like attacking teams, want you to be very intense, and to also play out from the back. 
"When you look at Spurs, they create a lot of chances, they are a young team, they go forward and win the games. 
"Now they are competing in the Champions League, which is really good for the club, and for some of the players to be more mature and grow up together. Yeah, Pep and Mauricio are very similar.”
