Tottenham kick-off their new campaign for the 2021-22 campaign when they take on Champions Manchester City. The match schedules for Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with kickoff at 6:30 pm.
Manchester City will be looking to fight for their title this term. On the other hand, Spurs will push for a top-four finish under new manager Nuno Espirito.
The start of the new season brings butterflies in most Tottenham Spurs, especially with the future of talisman Harry Kane in question. Moreover, the England captain returned to training on Friday.
Furthermore, the camp had a positive summer transfer window with the arrivals of Pierluigi Gollini, Bryan Gil and Cristian Romero. However, it will be a big blow for the White Lillies with the rumoured departure of Harry Kane to Manchester City.
In addition, the pre-season was a bit bland for the side but impressive performances against Arsenal and Chelsea. Also, the side finished off the seventh with only five points off the top four.
On the other hand, the official campaign for Pep Guardiola started with a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City in the Community Shield. The last campaign started off on a low note but ended up registering 27 wins, five draws and six defeats.
Manchester City recently signed Jack Grealish on a Premier League record fee. Their last clash ended with a 3-0 win.
