TV bosses were always picking Etihad bonanza
THERE is one thing guaranteed to be on the lunch menu at the Etihad on Saturday - goals.
There is a good reason behind TV bosses selecting Manchester City versus Tottenham as a highlight for the weekend because the last six league games between these two sides on this ground have been explosive.
Two City wins, two Tottenham wins, two draws, 28 goals in six games, with the lowest scoring fixture a 3-0 win for City.
And if you want to add a little more spice, how about Thomas Frank?
The new Spurs manager took his Brentford side to the Etihad in November 2022 and returned to London with a 2-1 victory.
If Frank can lead his new team to a win on Saturday lunchtime, he will join Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid 2012, Manchester United 2018) and Antonio Conte (Chelsea 2016, Spurs 2022) as the only managers to beat Pep Guardiola away in the league with two different clubs.
