Tottenham Hotspur have a two-goal cushion to take to Norway after winning the first leg of this Europa League semi-final 3-1. But Bødo/Glimt will believe they can still turn the tie around.

Tottenham will have to dig deep to ensure they do not throw away their aggregate advantage. Will Spurs get the job done, or can Bødo/Glimt mastermind a dramatic turnaround?

Bødo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions

They surely cannot mess this up, can they?

Tottenham Hotspur lead Bødo/Glimt 3-1 on aggregate at the midway point of their Europa League semi-final. Ange Postecoglou’s side are now strong favourites to advance to the final.

Yet Spurs fans are not 100 percent confident ahead of the second leg on Thursday. Without a trophy since 2008, Tottenham have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on numerous occasions in the past 17 years. Their supporters are naturally a pessimistic bunch.

A 3-0 advantage would have allowed Tottenham to feel a lot more comfortable. They looked to be on course for a clean sheet last week after goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke.

In the end, though, they could not quite keep the back door shut. Ulrik Saltnes struck in the 83rd minute to cut the deficit and give Bødo/Glimt a glimmer of hope ahead of the second leg.

Spurs were deserved winners last time out. They actually had less of the ball than their opponents, but they were much more incisive and productive when they did have it.

Tottenham outshot Bødo/Glimt 24-3. Seven of their attempts found the target, whereas only one of Bødo’s did. Reproduce those numbers here and Postecoglou’s team will be in the final.

Even so, there are good reasons why Tottenham fans are refusing to celebrate yet. One concerns their own vulnerability. Spurs have lost more than half of their Premier League games this season. These players are no strangers to defeat.

Then there are the issues specifically related to Bødo/Glimt. The 8,270-capacity Aspmyra Stadion up in the Arctic Circle is not an easy place to go. Bødo/Glimt play on an artificial pitch unfamiliar to their opponents.

The good news for Tottenham is that they do not necessarily have to win on Thursday. Even a narrow defeat would be enough to send them through to the final, where it looks like Manchester United will be waiting.

Despite being 16th in the Premier League, this could still be a successful season for Spurs. But before they start thinking about a long-overdue trophy-lift, Tottenham must stand up to be counted in Norway.

Bødo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur betting tips

Tottenham Hotspur travel to northern Norway to take on Bødo/Glimt in the Europa League.

Bødo/Glimt to win

The Bødo/Glimt story is a fascinating one. This is not a historically successful Norwegian club, but since 2020 they have won four league titles.

Kjetil Knutsen’s side (the 56-year-old has been in charge for seven years now) have also made admirable progress in Europe during that time, particularly this season.

Lazio topped the inaugural league phase but they lost 2-0 away to Bødo/Glimt in the quarter-finals.

Porto, Besiktas and Olympiacos have also come unstuck at the Aspmyra Stadion this season, as did Jose Mourinho’s Roma and Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic in previous campaigns.

Tottenham could be the Norwegian outfit’s latest victims on Thursday.

Bødo/Glimt to score first

It is essential for Bødo/Glimt to take the lead on the night. If Tottenham were to score first, it would almost be lights out for Knutsen’s charges.

There is a danger that Spurs will be caught between two stools here. Should they aim to extend their lead or protect what they have?

Bødo’s task is more straightforward and that clarity should help them in the opening exchanges of the match.

Given how many goals they have conceded this season, it is hard to have much faith in Tottenham’s backline holding out.

It is worth backing Bødo to draw first blood on Thursday, especially at these odds.

Kasper Høgh to score any time

No player has scored more goals in this season’s Europa League than Kasper Høgh.

The Danish striker has found the back of the net seven times in this competition, putting him level at the top of the charts with Bruno Fernandes and Ayoub El Kaabi of Olympiacos.

Hogh is the man Bødo/Glimt look to for goals and they will need him to step up in this semi-final second leg.

Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero were given the weekend off, so Tottenham’s first-choice centre-back pairing should be fresh for Thursday.

That will not necessarily be enough to keep Hogh quiet, though.

Ange Postecoglou claimed talking about Tottenham 'does crazy things to people', including former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Wenger, who is now FIFA's chief of global football development, drew the ire of Tottenham and Manchester United fans on Tuesday when he suggested the winners of the Europa League shouldn't be guaranteed a spot in next season's Champions League.

The Frenchman believed it was something UEFA had 'to think about and to review', especially since the Premier League would have five teams in the Champions League next season thanks to their improved ranking in UEFA's coefficients.

But Postecoglou has returned serve in emphatic fashion and declared people 'try and diminish' his club at every turn.

"Well, I mean that's a debate that's been raging for years, like at least the last eight days," Postecoglou said.

"I've never heard that before. I've said it before, mate, Spurs does crazy things to people. It does, it does.

"You put that club into any sentence or any issue, and invariably they all come out and try and diminish as much as they can.

"Why wasn't there an issue before and it's an issue now, what's the difference? I don't understand what the difference is.

"Last year, fifth didn't get you into the Champions League, this year it does. What does that mean?

"There are competition rules and the rules say that the winner goes into [the Champions League] and it's not the first year, and there isn't an asterisk against it that you have to do something else as well.

"But it's Spurs, mate, they love it. They love it. Oh, they love it, you love it, don't you?"

UEFA tweaked competition rules in 2014 for the winner of the Europa League to qualify for the next season's Champions League.

It is a rule Tottenham stand to benefit from as they hold a 3-1 lead over Bodo/Glimt going into the second leg in their Europa League semi-final tie.

Should Postecoglou's side maintain their advantage, they appear poised to play United in the final after Ruben Amorim's side beat Athletic Club 3-0 in the first leg.

Victory in the Europa League is the only possible route for both Tottenham and United to play European football next season and all the riches that come with it due to their appallingly low positions in the Premier League.

However, Tottenham will have to do it without James Maddison after he was confirmed to be out for the season with a knee injury he picked up in the first leg.

Thursday's clash in Norway will also come too soon for skipper Heung-Min Son.

But Postecoglou has been given a major boost in the form of striker Dominic Solanke, who was another casualty of the first leg when he exited the contest with a quad complaint.

"Dom's good, he's been able to train fully for the past couple of days, so he's no problem," Postecoglou said.

"Disappointing for Sonny. He was pushing hard.

"He has progressed, there's the possibility of him getting some game time on the weekend for us, but he hasn't trained with the team yet, but he is progressing, so we'll just wait and see how he goes."

Dominic Solanke has named the Premier League defender who has 'got everything'.

The Tottenham striker did not hesitate when asked who the toughest opponent he has faced in his career.

Solanke has already made 311 senior club appearances at the age of 27.

Of those, 10 have been against Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who Solanke believes is the 'most difficult' to come up against.

The forward told Rio Ferdinand Presents, live at Fanatics Collectibles: "It’s always Van Dijk. He’s just got everything. Strong, quick, leader. So I’d probably say he’s the most difficult."

Solanke has won just two of his 10 meetings with Van Dijk across his time at Bournemouth and Spurs.

Meanwhile, their remaining eight matches against each other have ended in victory for the Dutch defender, with all of them coming for Liverpool.

Van Dijk has also limited Solanke to just two goals against him, both of which were scored in defeats this season.

The England international was also asked about the young talent coming through at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Discussing which starlets fans should look out for, he said: "Other than the obvious two, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, who have been playing quite a bit this season.

"I think they’ve got huge careers ahead of them. They’ve been really good this season.

"Someone that hasn’t played as much, Mikey Moore. He’s a really talented boy, very direct and a good winger. So I think he’s got a bright future as well."

Since signing for the club last summer, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have made a combined 87 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's side.

As for Mikey Moore, the academy graduate was handed his senior debut aged 16 in May 2024.

Still only 17, he has already featured for England at Under-19 level.

The winger has made a total of 19 first-team appearances for Spurs, scoring once and providing two assists.

His tally could have been even higher had he not missed two months through illness earlier this season.

Moore has even been compared to Neymar by team-mate James Maddison this season.

The midfielder was impressed by the teenager against AZ Alkmaar in October, telling TNT Sports: "From minute 45 to 65 I thought we had Neymar on the left wing.

"He was brilliant, demanding the ball, fearless, with that young fearless mentality and you never want to take that away from him."

Moore played a starring role in the Europa League victory before receiving a standing ovation from the crowd as he was withdrawn.

Solanke was speaking to Ferdinand alongside friend and footballing rival Tosin Adarabioyo at Fanatics Collectibles.

The Spurs and Chelsea stars are both trading card collectors and joined Rio Ferdinand at the new store on Regent Street to celebrate the opening.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham has been rescheduled to a new date later this month.

The Premier League fixture was originally earmarked for May 18 with an unconfirmed kick-off time amid the clubs' potential appearances in European finals.

However, Spurs are in the Europa League semi-finals and lead Bodo/Glimt 3-1, with the second leg live on talkSPORT 2 on Thursday.

The final is scheduled to be played at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain on May 21.

Spurs would therefore have just three days to prepare to face either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao after playing away at Villa.

United, meanwhile, were scheduled to get an extra 48 hours of preparation if they make the final , with their fixture against Chelsea on May 16.

After a request from Spurs, the Premier League have decided that the match at Villa Park will be backdated to May 16, which is ten days away.

Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor expressed his disappointed at the change of date: "I'm hearing that Aston Villa's home game against Spurs has been moved to Friday 16 May.

"So that they play on the same night as Manchester United do, so it gives them the same amount of rest as Manchester United for the final of the Europa League.

"But, I don't like that because Aston Villa fans, I've seen it all over social media, it's only ten days away. They're paying for tickets, they're paying for flights, they're paying for hotels.

"The Premier League now have done Spurs a favour, when they didn't do it for Aston Villa when they had PSG [in the Champions League]. Is that a 'Top Six' bias that they're using? I don't get it."

Amid their concerns, the north London club announced to fans they were in discussions with the Premier League over a change.

"We should like to inform supporters that we are in discussions with the Premier League regarding a change in date to our away Premier League match against Aston Villa, currently scheduled for Sunday 18 May."

"Further information surrounding this fixture will be announced in due course."

The Premier League, in consultation with both Spurs and Villa, considered the request and this resulted in the change of date.

Furthermore, there is room for support, when possible, from the league for clubs who reach later stages of European competitions.

Spurs are all but confirmed as Europa League finalists after a dominant first leg performance at home to Bodo/Glimt last Thursday.

Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke all scored before a late goal from the visitors denied them a clean sheet.

Thursday's second leg could be more challenging, with Bodo/Glimt's home ground Aspmyra Stadion having artificial turf on the pitch.

However, Spurs will be more than confident in their ability to cross the line and reach their first European final since 2019.

As it stands, United will meet them later this month for an all-English clash as they lead Bilbao 3-0 on aggregate.

Spurs and United will be desperate to win the trophy to make up for their hugely underwhelming Premier League seasons.

They are 16th and 15th respectively, with Europa League glory their only chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

UEFA have acted quickly after they unintentionally rubbed salt into the wounds of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

The official Europa League account on X posted a picture of Tottenham star James Maddison winking and giving a thumbs up to the camera.

But it seemed those behind the account were unaware Maddison was set for a prolonged period on the sidelines after he sustained a knee injury in the first leg of Tottenham's Europa League semi-final tie against Bodo/Glimt.

Maddison bagged the second goal in Tottenham's 3-1 victory over the Norwegian outfit before he was taken off injured in the 65th minute.

Football broadcaster and host of talkSPORT's Trans Europe Express Danny Kelly took note of the initial post and wrote: "W****** @UEFA trolling Spurs!"

Kelly was not the only one who vented their frustrations on social media as other football fans felt the post was in poor taste.

One said: "Is this legit? Surely an organising body shouldn't be flaunting the disappointment of one of the participant team's injured players? @EuropaLeague needs to apologise."

Another posted: "No dog in this fight, but what a disgusting tweet. I don't particularly like James Maddison, but seriously, the lad is out for the season and this is what come from an official @UEFA account? Disgusting."

However, someone at UEFA evidently realised the error of their ways as the post was eventually taken down.

Although Tottenham are yet to confirm the severity of Maddison's injury, talkSPORT understands the midfielder is not expected to play again this season.

Maddison and Dominic Solanke were left out of the Tottenham side that drew 1-1 with West Ham on Sunday and manager Ange Postecoglou divulged the former was 'more of a concern'.

"We're pretty hopeful with Dom that it will be OK, he's improving every day but it made no sense to bring him on today," Postecoglou said post-match.

"Maddison's a bit more of a concern until we get some more information but he's the one that's more of a concern."

The 28-year-old has been a constant presence in Postecoglou's side this season having made 45 appearances across all competitions.

He also boasts 22 attacking contributions throughout the campaign having registered 12 goals and ten assists.

Maddison's tally of 22 contributions makes him Tottenham's equal-most productive player alongside Dominic Solanke and skipper Heung-min Son.

But he won't get a chance to add to that figure due to the knee injury.

The grim news of Maddison's injury comes as Postecoglou's side stand 90 minutes away from a berth in the Europa League final.

Tottenham travel to Norway on Thursday for the second leg of their semi-final with a two-goal lead.

Progression to the Europa League final would mark the third final Tottenham have made since the 2018/19 campaign.

The north London side reached the final of the Champions League that season but fell short at the last hurdle against Liverpool.

Tottenham then made the final of the Carabao Cup in 2021, only to lose to Manchester City.

But should all go to plan on Thursday evening, Tottenham will have another chance to win their first piece of silverware since 2008.

The Europa League winners should be stripped of automatic Champions League qualification, according to Arsene Wenger.

His comments come ahead of the second legs of this season's semi-finals on Thursday.

Manchester United and Tottenham both hold healthy leads from their opening matches against Athletic Bilbao and Bodo/Glimt, respectively.

The Europa League winners currently earn a direct spot into the following season's Champions League.

UEFA have handed out the qualification place every season since 2014.

However, Wenger believes the winners should instead qualify for the next season's Europa League.

The former Arsenal boss told beIN Sports: "They should qualify automatically for the Europa League but not necessarily for the Champions League.

"Especially when you're in the Premier League where already five teams qualify.

"I think it's something [for UEFA] to think about and to review.

"On the other hand people will tell you that to keep the Europa League focused, interesting and motivated you need to give them that prize [Champions League]."

A team has yet to reach the Europa League final whilst finishing lower than 12th in their domestic league since the competition was rebranded for the 2009/10 season.

Sevilla finished 12th in La Liga in 2022/23 on their way to lifting the trophy for a record-extending seventh time.

Meanwhile, Fulham ended the 2009/10 season in the same spot before suffering a defeat to Atletico Madrid in the final.

United previously benefitted from the rule after winning the Europa League in 2017.

The Red Devils qualified for the following season's Champions League as a result, despite finishing sixth in the Premier League.

Both Spurs and United are currently in the bottom half of the Premier League.

With three matches remaining, Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou's sides are 15th and 16th, respectively.

Neither side can finish any higher than 12th in the table this season.

The Europa League semi-final second legs are scheduled to take place on Thursday.

James Maddison is not expected to play for Tottenham again this season after suffering what is believed to be a significant knee injury, talkSPORT understands.

Sources fear Maddison could be sidelined for a prolonged period if he requires surgery with scan results expected within the next 24 hours.

The news is far from ideal for Spurs with their season on the line on Thursday night.

Ange Postecoglou’s side lead Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in the Europa League semi-finals and victory in the final would bring their first silverware since 2008 after a disastrous Premier League campaign.

Maddison started in that first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and scored the second goal before being taken off injured in the 65th minute.

Both he and fellow regular starter Dominic Solanke were left out of the squad on Sunday as Spurs drew 1-1 with West Ham in the league.

Asked about the duo post-match, Postecoglou said: “We’re pretty hopeful with Dom that it will be OK, he’s improving every day but it made no sense to bring him on today.

“Maddison's a bit more of a concern until we get some more information but he’s the one that’s more of a concern.”

We now understand that the news isn’t good at all, with Maddison not expected back until the new campaign.

The English midfielder has been key this season, making 45 appearances in all competitions, the fifth most in the squad.

He’s also level with Solanke and Heung-min Son as the north London side’s most productive player with his 22 contributions made up of 12 goals and ten assists.

Yet domestically it’s been an unmitigated disaster, with Spurs on course to finish a record low of 16th in the league.

That has seen heavy rumours that manager Postecoglou could be replaced, but Maddison isn’t so sure.

“We’re behind the manager, 100 per cent, he’s a great man,” the 28-year-old said.

“He’s the first person to tell you and I’ve said it myself that we’ve had a poor season, especially in the league.

“We’ve been better in Europe, and it’s probably been an acceptable one and we can all take a collective responsibility for that.

“But he’s my manager, he’s my gaffer, and I respect him an awful amount.

"The narrative is something we players try to keep away from because it’s not something we like seeing, you lot talking about the manager’s position.

“I just know that I come into work every day and see the lads listening and taking on the messages about how he wants to play and trying to do what’s best for this club.

“We’re in a very good position in Europe and we can still have a very special season under his management so I will continue to do that until the day he isn’t here, I respect him an awful amount.”

Maddison was also asked if the fans deserve Europa success for such a poor season, but got his back up at the question.

“We definitely want to reward them with something special for the support they’ve given us because the league hasn’t been good enough, definitely,” he began.

“But it hurts as well, let's not create the narrative that it's just… yes it’s us players out there definitely and we take responsibility for that, but it hurts me a lot.

“We’re having a poor season, but this is why we’re so motivated for this competition because the season can still be so special.”

Harry Kane has finally won his first professional trophy, over 5,000 days after making his Tottenham debut in 2010.

Spurs' record goalscorer has now officially won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich, and fittingly, celebrated alongside Eric Dier.

Kane was in the Spurs youth ranks when they last lifted a trophy - the 2008 League Cup - but has waited his whole career for a major honour himself.

After joining Bayern Munich, the striker missed out on a trophy in his debut season after the Bavarians endured their first trophyless season since the 2011–12 campaign.

He then lost his second successive European Championship final last summer, but Bayern have now won the Bundesliga title with two games left to play.

Tottenham only have one opportunity to join Kane this season and lift their first trophy in 16 years.

Spurs can only win the Europa League this campaign to deliver on Ange Postecoglou's bold pre-season vow that he always wins silverware during his second season at a club.

The Lilywhites have put all of their eggs in the European basket, reaching the semi-finals, following a dismal domestic campaign in the Premier League.

Tottenham crashed out of the Carabao Cup to Liverpool in the semi-finals too, before Aston Villa ended their FA Cup dreams.

Newcastle, inspired by ex-Spurs star Kieran Trippier, then delivered Eddie Howe's side their first major domestic trophy since 1955 in the EFL Cup.

Following Bayer Leverkusen's 2-2 draw away to Freiburg, Kane and Dier became the latest ex-Tottenham duo to go on to win some silverware.

Here, talkSPORT.com looks at the 67 former Spurs players and managers who have lifted a team trophy since the club's last success.

Ryan Mason will wait until after Tottenham's European campaign has come to an end before making a decision over his future.

Mason is a leading contender for the vacant West Brom job.

The Spurs assistant coach has shot to the top of the bookies' favourites, alongside Marti Cifuentes.

However, talkSPORT understands the 33-year-old's focus is on Tottenham's Europa League run.

Spurs have one foot in the final after beating Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in the first leg at home last Thursday.

The second leg is on May 8 as Ange Postecoglou looks to deliver silverware for the trophy-starved club.

Postecoglou will not want any distractions should they reach the Europa League final on May 21, which takes place in Bilbao.

If West Brom want to appoint Mason as their next permanent manager, then they will need to wait until later this month.

It would be the former midfielder's first full-time management job.

Mason retired as a player in 2018 following a serious head injury and shortly after joined Spurs' coaching staff.

He has twice taken interim charge of the club, when Jose Mourinho was sacked and then again when acting head coach Cristian Stellini was fired.

In 2024, he came close to being named Anderlecht manager but both parties mutually agreed not to progress with talks.

talkSPORT reported that he was also a contender for Championship club Swansea.

The Baggies sacked Tony Mowbray in April following a poor run of results.

talkSPORT reported that QPR boss Cifuentes' representatives have held talks with West Brom.

He was then placed on gardening leave with CEO Christian Nourry saying 'this is naturally a disappointing situation for everyone concerned'.

West Brom finished ninth in the Championship, missing out on the play-offs by four points.

They are now set for a fifth straight campaign in the second tier of English football, having reached the play-offs just once in the last four years.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

Marcus Rashford appeared to have already played potentially his last game for Aston Villa this season.

The Man United loanee picked up a hamstring injury that looked to have put him out of the entire run-in.

However, despite ruling Rashford out of Villa's game against Fulham, Unai Emery is hopeful he can return in the coming weeks and feature again for the club.

"For tomorrow, he is not available," Emery said.

"He is working his comeback as soon as possible, but it is still weeks to be available or not with us for the rest of the season.

"Of course, there are four weeks and hopefully he will play with us in one or two matches."

On Rashford's potential permanent future at the club, he said: "Tomorrow, Fulham. We don't want to finish the season. We don't want a holiday. We want to play.

"Hopefully, he can help us. Of course, he's recovering with us here.

"I want to see him happy. Play, get our objective and then, of course, we will speak about everything."

'I can still play here'

Kevin De Bruyne is set to depart Man City at the end of the season, but he still feels he can play at the top level.

Speaking to Sky Sports this evening, he said: "I try to play as much good football as I can.

"I know that I only have one home game left but I just try to do my job and that's what I did today.

"A lot of teammates have said that it's sad I have to go too, but that's just how it goes sometimes in life.

"I don't know what the future will be, but I know that I can still play here."

De Bruyne added: "I am still enjoying it, and we still have a job to do. It was a hard game today but we found the way to win.

"Now we can just relax a bit and see what the other teams do."

A City legend

This will be a memorable night for Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian has one more game left at the Etihad before he leaves the club, and he did a lap of the pitch at full-time.

After his winning goal against Wolves, he has now scored 30 Premier League goals since turning 30.

The only players to score more times for Manchester City aged 30+ are Yaya Touré and Sergio Agüero (41 each).

De Bruyne has also now had a hand in 11 goals in 10 Premier League appearances against Wolves (6 goals, 5 assists).

That's the joint-most by any player in top-flight history alongside Mo Salah, who also has 6 goals and 5 assists.

'As good as I've seen them'

We've only seen three shots in this second half so far.

And we're just entering the final 20 minutes of the game.

The most recent effort came from Mateo Kovacic, who scuffed wide after Omar Marmosh struck over from inside the box.

Wolves have looked threatening just as they did in the first, and that has left Man City holding on at times.

However, the hosts remain comfortable in possession and look as if they may be able to get this win over the line.

Erling Haaland has been warming up, will we see him tonight?

Stuart Pearce live on talkSPORT: "You can't underestimate how well City have played.

"This is as good as I've seen them play for a long time."

Half time

The half-time whistle blows in Manchester.

Kevin De Bruyne's strike has Man City in front after a half that saw Wolves have the better chances.

Rayan Ait Nouri had one shot hit the post and another cleared off the line just before his side conceded.

And that came after Marshall Munetsi came inches away from tapping in a square pass from Jean-Ricner Bellergarde.

The visitors have been impressive, but they have nothing to show for it and they seemed to struggle when 1-0 down.

De Bruyne's goal added a lot of confidence to City, so they'll hope to restart the second half as they ended the first.

GOAL! Man City 1-0 Wolves: Kevin De Bruyne

AND NOW MAN CITY TAKE THE LEAD!

Kevin De Bruyne smashes in the opener!

After all of Wolves' pressure, it's the hosts who go in front and what a roar it is from the home crowd.

De Bruyne may have just scored his last goal in a City shirt.

His name is sung around the Etihad as the game restarts.

The goal comes from Jeremy Doku's break down the left, as he gets into the box and pokes a ball across goal.

Doku's pass ends up finding De Bruyne who finishes brilliantly after arriving into the penalty area.

Empty seats

Wolves have come out fighting tonight.

Vitor Pereira has his side playing with so much confidence and that's clear to see, as they press high.

They've had a shot balloon over from Matheus Cunha while also having a couple of other half-chances.

But Man City are starting to gain some control of the game at the Etihad, which has plenty of empty seats inside.

The lack of fans in their seats is due to a protest, with many not entering the stadium until after the sixth minute.

The demonstration was against Man City's ticket prices and new season ticket plans at the club.

Kick-off!

Here we go then, Wolves vs Man City is underway.

Can Pep Guardiola's side move back up into third?

Or will Wolves continue their incredible winning streak to shock City and damage their Champions League hopes?

We'll find out over the next 90 minutes.

If you want to tune in to the action, we have live and exclusive coverage of the game on talkSPORT.

'I will take a break'

Pep Guardiola has revealed that he will 'take a break' when his time at Manchester City ends.

The Spaniard signed an extension in November that meant he has a contract as City boss up until 2027.

But after that, he isn't expecting to instantly join another club and could even end his management career.

"After my contract with City, I'm going to stop. I am sure. I don't know if I'm going to retire, but I'm going to take a break," he told ESPN.

"There are new challenges as a coach. I don't know what will happen in the future and in the end that doesn't matter."

Guardiola then clarified his comments speaking to Sky Sports, saying: "I didn’t say I'm leaving now, or the end of season or the end of contract.

"I said when I finish my time here, be it one, two, three, four, five years I will take a break.

"I won't retire but I will take a break. What I am saying is when I am finished here I will take a break."

No distractions

Pep Guardiola doesn't want his Man City side to lose their focus on the Premier League run-in.

City are in the FA Cup final and that is their only hope of silverware this season, so it will be a huge clash.

However, Guardiola is only looking at each game coming for his team, not thinking about what's to come in two weeks time.

“Now we can’t be distracted for anything else,” he said ahead of City's meeting with Wolves this evening.

“It’s Wolves, Wolves and Wolves. The rest we have time to think about it and day by day, see in the training sessions, [speak with] the physios, doctors.

“Now, it’s a final every single game. We make an incredible effort. The last eight games unbeaten since Nottingham Forest away, we make just two draws against United and Brighton.

“I’m pretty sure all of them want to play [in the final]. When you reach a final of the FA Cup, everyone wants to be involved.

“It depends how they feel and how they recover. Now it’s a period we have to have certainty. It’s not already qualified here.

“What we are going to say is we are going to make the right decisions.”

Injury boost

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes that the Gunners could receive a triple boost for their second leg against PSG.

A defeat at home in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final leaves them on the brink of a heartbreaking elimination.

However, having some key players back could help their chances of pulling off a comeback in Paris next week.

Arteta revealed that he could see a trio return for the game.

On Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori, he said: "I wouldn't rule all of them out.

"Let's see in the next few days how a few of them react."

Jorginho hasn't played since the start of April with a reported 'punctured lung' while Havertz may be set for a return after undergoing surgery on his hamstring.

Welsh Xavi set to retire

Swansea City and Wales midfielder Joe Allen has confirmed he will retire after tomorrow's final game of the Championship season.

The 35-year-old is out of contract at the Swans this summer and has opted to call time on his career after the match against Oxford.

Allen was infamously dubbed 'the Welsh Xavi' by former manager Brendan Rodgers during their time at Liverpool together.

He hangs up his boots having made almost 600 club appearances and won 77 international caps.

"This is incredibly difficult. This is not something I've taken lightly, I've spent a lot of time pondering it," said Allen.

"The timing's right. I made the decision, got to 100 percent about a month ago. I wasn't sure how the last few weeks would go, how I'd find things, but it's actually been a good spell really. I've enjoyed it."

"I've had a chance to reflect and take it all in. I'm really looking forward to what's going to be my last game on Saturday," he added.

"I'm very proud. I didn't think I'd be sat here playing as many games as I have for clubs I have done at that level and for Wales as well.

"I've been incredibly fortunate and as I've reflected over the last few weeks very grateful and thankful to everyone who has helped me on my way to have these amazing experiences."

Gone to Pot

West Ham manager Graham Potter has lifted the lid on last week's viral post-match press conference.

The former Brighton boss said he was 'upset' after conceding two late goals to lose against his old club.

Speaking today, Potter said: "As you can see, I'm better now.

"It would be surprising if I wasn't upset after how the game had unfolded. It's about accepting the human being that we all are and moving forward.

"As you get older, I care less about what you guys (the media) think.

"I'm happy to be myself - if myself is being annoyed after we've conceded two goals in three minutes, I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't.

"My reaction was a human reaction. I would be surprised if there's many football managers that gave a different reaction to what I had."

Top Marcs

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has given a fresh update on Marcus Rashford's situation following the England star's recent injury.

It was reported last week that the Manchester United loanee was expected to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring issue.

Rashford was forced out of Villa's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, and won't play against Fulham tomorrow either.

Ahead of that match, live on talkSPORT, Emery said: "For tomorrow he is not available but he is working to comeback as soon as possible.

"But [it will still be] weeks until he is available. Hopefully he will play with us [for] one or two matches [before the end of the season]."

Arteta updates on Calafiori, Jorginho and Havertz

Mikel Arteta says he is hopeful that Jorginho 'will integrate into the team for the last few games'.

The Arsenal boss also surprisingly revealed that Kai Havertz could also be back before the end of the season.

Speaking ahead of the Gunners' clash with Bournemouth, Arteta said: "I will assess how the squad is tomorrow and see who I have available to start and as subs."

On Havertz: "I think so [could return before end of season].

"If everything goes the way it is at the moment, then he will have a chance."

Arteta also confirmed Riccardo Calafiori remains unavailable for Saturday's game, as do Jorginho and Havertz.

Bergvall injury KO

Lucas Bergvall's season is likely over after picking up an ankle injury, as talkSPORT first revealed last night.

The teenager was spotted on crutches and in a protective boot pitchside at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday evening

He was a shock omission from Ange Postecoglou's squad for the Europa League semi-final first-leg win over Bodø/Glimt.

Speaking to the media on Friday afternoon ahead of Sunday's trip to West Ham, Postecoglou said, "With Lucas, it looks like the injury is significant enough to probably keep him out now for the rest of the season. He tweaked his ligaments in his ankle so he is out."

Asked later how the injury came about, Ange said: "It's something you see all the time.

"It wasn't a tackle, he was on his own, he just went to turn, and his ankle gave way.

"It's one of those things, similar to Dom (Solanke, earlier in the season) and others we've had in training. These things happen."
