Atlético de Madrid on Friday learned that they will face Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League’s round of 16 next month — the sides’ first official meeting since Spurs defeated Atlético in the 1963 Cup Winners’ Cup final.

The first leg will take place at Estadio Metropolitano on March 10/11, marking Tottenham Hotspur’s return to the stadium where they contested the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool. The return fixture will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the following week, on March 17 or 18.

Atlético reached the Champions League’s last 16 for the 11th time in 13 seasons after Tuesday’s 4-1 victory (7-4 on aggregate) over Club Brugge. After a farcical elimination at this stage last season, Atleti are aiming to return to the quarterfinals for the third time in five years and the eighth time in Diego Simeone’s reign as head coach.

While nemeses Real Madrid this year have been handed a tie against Manchester City, Atleti will square off against last season’s Europa League champion Spurs on what is being considered the more “favorable” side of the Champions League bracket. The winner of this tie will face either Newcastle United or FC Barcelona in the quarterfinals, with a possible semifinal against Arsenal after that.

Tottenham Hotspur are in something of a free fall. Spurs sit 16th in the Premier League table and hired Igor Tudor to replace the sacked Thomas Frank two weeks ago, not long after Frank had helped convince Conor Gallagher to join in a €40 million transfer from Atlético. Spurs — captained by former (and possibly future) Atleti transfer target Cristian Romero — have a significant number of players injured at present and are only four points clear of the drop zone in England.

A few of those absentees could return in the weeks ahead, and the North London side did finish fourth in the league phase table while Atlético stumbled to 14th. But on paper at least, drawing Spurs instead of Liverpool (who have their own injury woes) is a solid result for Atleti, even with the second leg away from home.

Thomas Frank's Spurs lost 2-0 at Manchester United on Saturday as captain Cristian Romero was sent off and he let down his team. Spurs are now seriously in the relegation scrap as they sit just six points above the bottom three and despite reaching the Champions League last 16, Frank has to start picking up wins in the league. Fast.

Newcastle lost 3-2 at home to Brentford on Saturday as Eddie Howe was booed by some home fans as they continue to underperform. Newcastle have made the Champions League playoff round but sit just four points above Spurs heading into this game and despite injuries impacting them all season, Howe is under pressure.

Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus

Spurs are still without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pedro Porro, Ben Davies and Kevin Danso, while Romero is suspended. All of that adds extra pressure on Frank as he will likely go with the same starting lineup as the defeat at United on Saturday with Dragusin coming in for Romero. Solanke will lead the line up top and be supported by two of Kolo Muani, Simons and Odobert with Gallagher breaking forward from midfield.

Newcastle team news, focus

Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento, Joelinton and Emil Krafth remain out, while Lewis Miley and Anthony Gordon are being assessed. Howe will mix things up a little bit after the poor display at home against Brentford and it's likely he starts Woltemade, Burn, Elanga and Ramsey.

Manchester City continue their pursuit of the Premier League title on Sunday with a daunting trip to North London to face Tottenham Hotspur.

The fixture represents a critical juncture in the campaign for both sides. For Pep Guardiola, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains a persistent stumbling block. The Spaniard has lost more league games against Spurs than any other opponent in his career. However, City arrive with renewed confidence. They can move back to within four points of leaders Arsenal with a win. Conversely, pressure mounts on Thomas Frank. While his side excels in Europe, they currently endure a dismal run of five Premier League matches without a win.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City – Match preview and team news

Kick-off: 16:30 GMT

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

Referee: Rob Jones

VAR: Jarred Gillett

Last Meeting: Manchester City 0–2 Tottenham (23 Aug 2025), Premier League

Team News

Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank has declared centre-back Micky van de Ven “touch and go” after he missed the midweek trip to Germany. In a major boost, Dominic Solanke is ready for his first Premier League start in six months following a goalscoring cameo against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Spurs are still missing senior talent, including Pedro Porro, James Maddison, and Mohammed Kudus. Yves Bissouma and Conor Gallagher are available again after being ineligible for European duty.

Manchester City

The Cityzens will be without winger Jeremy Doku, who is sidelined for roughly two weeks with a hamstring injury sustained against Galatasaray. On a positive note, Marc Guéhi and Antoine Semenyo are available after missing the Champions League tie due to eligibility rules. Rodri also returns from suspension, while Rúben Dias is scheduled to return to training on Monday.

Form

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs are currently enduring a difficult domestic drought, winless in their last five Premier League matches (D3 L2). Their recent league results include a 2–2 draw at Burnley and a 1–0 defeat to West Ham. Notably, Thomas Frank currently has the lowest points-per-game record (0.82) of any Spurs boss in Premier League history at home. However, they have historically been City’s “Kryptonite,” with Guardiola losing eight league games against them.

Manchester City

City arrive in strong form following a 2–0 midweek win over Galatasaray and a dominant 4–1 victory over Everton. Notably, Erling Haaland ended a nine-game run without an open-play goal during the week. Despite their overall quality, City’s away form has shifted; they have averaged 1.53 points per game away from home over the last two seasons, a significant drop from the 2.13 PPG averaged between 2022 and 2024.

Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Gallagher; Odobert, Simons, Tel; Solanke

Manchester City Predicted XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly; Rodri; Semenyo, Reijnders, Silva, Cherki; Haaland

Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester City in the Premier League tonight, with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to stay within touching distance of league leaders Arsenal this weekend.

The Gunners’ 4-0 hammering of Leeds yesterday means that City begin the day seven points behind Mikel Arteta’s side, with Guardiola’s men hoping for a big result against a struggling Spurs side ahead of matches against Liverpool and Newcastle in coming weeks.

While Spurs are currently languishing in 14th in the table, they have consistently been a bogey side for Pep Guardiola over the course of his time in England tenure, and while the visitors will head in as heavy favourites, Spurs’ 2-0 win in the reverse fixture proves that they are capable of denting City’s title hopes this afternoon.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is Tottenham vs Man City?

The match will take place on Sunday, 1 February at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off set for 4.30pm.

Team news

Thomas Frank’s main concern is the fitness of Micky van de Ven, who missed the game against Frankfurt and will face a late fitness test.

James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski are all sidelined for the foreseeable future for Spurs, and while Richarlison and Pedro Porro are nearing returns, they won’t be back until later in February.

For City, Jeremy Doku will likely miss this match after being forced off in the first half against Galatasaray, though the extent of his problem is not yet clear.

Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are the long-term absentees, though John Stones, Ruben Dias and Savio won’t be returning until later next month.

Predicted line-ups

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Gray, Palhinha; Odobert, Sarr, Simons; Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur are through to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League after beating Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 on Wednesday, thanks to goals scored by Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke.

MORE — Latest Champions League table

Spurs (17 points) finish 4th in the league phase, bypassing the playoff round alongside other top-eight sides Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Barcelona, Chelsea, Sporting CP and Manchester City. That's 17 points in just eight games for Thomas Frank's side, meanwhile Spurs have just 28 from 23 games in the Premier League, where they currently sit 14th. Spurs won all four home games in the Champions League, but have won just two of 12 at home in the PL.

Eintracht Frankfurt (4 points) finish 33rd and are out of European competition this season.

Venue: Deutsche Bank Park — Frankfurt, Germany

It's been a mostly miserable first season in charge for Frank, but Spurs (14 points) sit 5th ahead of Wednesday's finale (3 pm ET) — not a bad debut in European competition, now if only they weren't 14th in the PL and slipping toward the relegation zone for the second straight season. Spurs, who have won just two of 11 home league games this season, won all four at home in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Spurs, who have picked up 19 of their 28 PL points away from home, are yet to win on the road in the Champions League. So unpredictable, it's predictable.

Tottenham Hotspur grabbed a point late on at Burnley but Thomas Frank is still in serious trouble as their manager.

MORE — Recap, video highlights

This time they took the lead at Burnley but were 2-1 down heading into the 90th minute. Then captain Cristian Romero equalized to snatch a point.

But Spurs fans in the away end turned against Frank in the second half with several chants lambasting his style of play and record at the north London club. To put it politely...

Below is the latest Thomas Frank reaction on yet another poor day for Spurs, as they sit just eight points above the relegation zone.

A week off? In this economy? Tottenham Hotspur will be well-rested heading into their latest London Derby, this one against struggling West Ham United. It remains to be seen, though, whether that rest will make a difference to a Spurs side that are trying to work through troubles of their own.

Some have therefore dubbed this match “El Sackico”, with both Thomas Frank and West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo at risk of losing their jobs with another poor performance. It’s the second edition of such a match in which Spurs have been involved, the last one interestingly enough also involving Nuno as his Spurs side suffered a 3-0 drubbing against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United.

There’s added intrigue as well with the January transfer window looming large. New signing Conor Gallagher could be involved for the Lilywhites, while West Ham have attempted to bolster their attacking options with the signings of Taty Castellanos and Pablo.

It’s probably not going to be high-quality football; but the potential ramifications are significant.

COYS!
