Buoyed by manager Pep Guardiola signing an extended two-year contract, Manchester City will hope to reverse a damaging losing run when they host Tottenham in the Premier League.A 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Spurs began a run of four successive losses in all competitions for Premier League champions City — the worst run of Guardiola's career and a factor that he joked was part of his motivation for staying on at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola will be hoping his Man City side can get back to winning ways on Saturday as they host top-four chasing Tottenham. A surprising run of four consecutive defeats for City -- the club's worst in 18 years -- allowed title rivals Liverpool to open up a five-point gap at the top of the English Premier League heading into the recent international break.
