Things have not been going well for Tottenham and mid-season hire Antonio Conte lately, and they will need to dig deep to prevent matters from getting worse on Saturday.
Three consecutive losses in league play have dropped Tottenham down to eighth place in the Premier League ranks, seven points behind the Champions League line. Now, Tottenham has to host Manchester City, which has completely run away with the lead in the league while on a 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Tottenham is far too talented to be ruled out of pulling out an upset, and must play with urgency to avoid falling too far behind the UCL pack, which makes for a high-drama contest to headline the weekend’s viewing options.
In Spain, the Sundays Valencia – Barcelona match could set the stage for US men’s national team teammates Yunus Musah and Sergiño Dest square off, as Dest and Barcelona are working to salvage a respectable La Liga campaign.

This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur – A loss for Tottenham is effectively a death blow to any UCL hopes, but it managed to beat Manchester City in the opening week and should be able to put up a fight.
2. Valencia v Barcelona – Can an American make an impact on the game?
3. USWNT vs. New Zealand – New Zealand, co-host of the 2024 Women’s World Cup, should be looking to level up and unafraid to take some risks against the freshly regenerated Americans.
4. Borussia Dortmund v Borussia Monchengladbach – Gio Reyna’s return to Bundesliga action comes at a time where Dortmund is desperately hanging on to Bayern Munich’s coat tails in the title race.
5. Inter Milan v Sassuolo – Inter Milan recently lost the lead in Serie A and was last seen taking a 2-0 loss to Liverpool in Champions League action on Wednesday. Can they right the ship against what should be an inferior opponent?
