Can Tottenham find a way to stop the Man City juggernaut in Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final 1st leg, at 8pm on BT Sport 2?

City have lost precisely once in 2019, that shock, January-ending defeat at Newcastle. They’ve won their other 21 fixtures – OK, it took penalties for them to beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup final – spanning all competitions, a feat that leaves them with the tantalising prospect of achieving the unprecedented quadruple.

With the EFL Cup already in the bag, an FA Cup final booked for mid-May, and a crucial game in hand over Liverpool in the league, it is the Champions League that poses arguably the toughest task for Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard has been unable to get City past the quarter-finals, with the competition remaining the one major trophy cabinet absentee since the club’s influx of money over a decade ago.

Still, they are in dominant form at the moment, something that can’t be said for Spurs. Between late February and the end of March Tottenham failed to win a single league game, losing 4 and drawing one; and while they beat Crystal Palace at the weekend – their first fixture in their new stadium – it’s too little too late. Their dark horse push for the title is over, the club now more concerned with securing a top 4 finish.

Yet in amongst that awful domestic run came one of the side’s best performances all season, a 4-0, 2-legged dismissal of Borussia Dortmund that saw them book a place in Tuesday’s quarter-final.

With both on 5 goals in the Champions League, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane sit at Super Mega PGMs of 43-50 and 29-35 respectively, the Argentine given the edge due to his superior record across the rest of the season.

Currently it is hard to look past Guardiola’s Manc conquistadors – though Spurs might still have a bit of new stadium sheen working to their advantage – with Spreadex offering a Man City/Tottenham (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.55-0.75, alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.65-2.85.

While City deal with a traditionally domestic encounter, their league rivals Liverpool host Porto at 8pm on BT Sport 3. The Champions League hasn’t necessarily seen the Reds at their best this season; or, at least, that was the case in the group stages. They improved in the last 16, a goalless draw at Anfield followed by an impressive, Sadio Mane-driven 3-1 win at Bayern Munich.

Porto, meanwhile, have benefited from a relatively kind draw. They topped a group that included Schalke, Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow, before beating Roma 4-3 on aggregate (but only after extra-time in the 2nd leg).

On paper the Reds should be fairly unruffled, with Spreadex offering a Liverpool/Porto Goal Supremacy spread of 1.75-1.95, alongside an average target price of 3-3.2.
