Manchester City are set to face Postecoglou’s team in a crucial midweek match that could potentially determine the winners of this season’s Premier League title. City currently trail Arsenal by just one point with a game in hand, and this clash at the Tottenham Stadium holds significant weight. Should Spurs manage to secure points against Pep Guardiola’s side, it could propel Arsenal into a favorable position. However, there have been insinuations that Spurs might deliberately underperform to thwart Arsenal’s chances of securing their first league title in two decades. Postecoglou vehemently dismissed such suggestions.
In discussions with the media, Postecoglou remarked, “If you’re going by social media then 99 per cent of them will [want Spurs to lose] but please don’t tell me that’s your world. If it is, you need counselling. I understand rivalry but I’ll never understand anyone wanting their own team to lose.”
The Tottenham manager further emphasized, “You think the majority of our fans are not going to want us to win? I don’t see it that way. I think the majority will create the atmosphere they always create because we’ve got a game of football to try and win.”
Indeed, Arsenal fans are eagerly anticipating the match, buoyed by Manchester City’s historically lackluster performance against Spurs, particularly when playing away. Out of 19 encounters against the London side, Guardiola’s team has only managed to secure victory on nine occasions.
Postecoglou’s team will host City on Tuesday, May 14, with fans from around the globe likely to tune in, aware that this match could have a significant impact on how this season is remembered in the annals of football history.
