Tottenham are about to face Pep Guardiola’s side tomorrow in a match of the 1/16-finals in the FA Cup. The team’s manager, Ange Postecoglou revealed in front of the gathered media that Spurs’ midfielder James Maddison has completed a full week of training and is ready to feature against Manchester City on Friday. Tottenham has been stripped of his services since the 6th of November, when Maddison got injured during the 1st half in a match against Chelsea and has missed a total of 11 games until now. Without the playmaker the Spurs recorded 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats across all tournaments, while when he was available for selection in the earlier part of the season, the club lost only 1 of 15 meetings.
