3 Reasons why Tottenham Hotspur will lose to Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinals

#2 Recent meetings between the two sides

City are enjoying a period of dominance over their domestic rivals

Historically, domestic form usually counts as little as nothing when it comes to European competitions. Meanwhile, Manchester City and Tottenham are usually unpredictable and tight in their contest.

Tottenham seems to dominate when considering their head-to-head record since they first met in 1910 but recent games since 2010 suggest otherwise. Since 2010, Manchester City have been the dominant force between the two clubs. They have played 18 domestic league and cup competitions, with Manchester City having 11 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.

The recent statistics since 2010 suggest that Pep Guardiola's men have turned the table against their domestic rivals. The Citizens defeated Tottenham in both legs of their Premier League encounters last season, recording convincing 4-1 and 3-1 victories respectively while they also emerged victorious when the two sides clashed in the English top flight once again this term with a 1-0 victory.

Considering their performances this season and their dominance over the London outfit, City have a huge chance of getting the better of their opponents when they meet in the quarterfinals of the Champions League next month.
