During a recent appearance on Sky Sports, Micah Richards, a former England defender, highlighted an upcoming match that could be challenging for Manchester City. He pointed out that City’s game against Tottenham Hotspur on May 12 is one to keep an eye on.
Richards made these comments following City’s impressive 5-1 victory over Wolves over the weekend. Despite the win, Pep Guardiola’s team remains just one point behind Arsenal, who also secured a win by beating Bournemouth 3-0 on the same day.
Richards expressed his concerns about City potentially facing difficulties at Tottenham, a venue where they have historically struggled. He noted, “When you are approaching the end of the season, your mindset changes. These matches become crucial, and City tends to excel in such situations.”
Highlighting Tottenham’s recent dip in form, Richards emphasized the significance of the upcoming fixture, stating, “Spurs have experienced a decline in performance. The match against Spurs away is one that stands out – City hasn’t had great results there.”
