Guardiola’s side appeared to be easing their way to victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo firing them into a two-goal lead. The home side were booed off at the interval.

Thomas Frank, who has been coming under mounting pressure, was able to conjure up a spirited fightback from his team, with Dominic Solanke leading the charge. He bundled home Spurs’ first, with the aid of a deflection off Marc Guehi, before delivering a stunning scorpion kick second.

An entertaining encounter finished all square, with City slipping six points adrift of Premier League table-toppers Arsenal. The Blues are of the opinion that their title-chasing efforts are being undermined by a number of questionable decisions.

Big VAR calls have gone against City in recent meetings with Newcastle, Manchester United and Wolves. They believe that Solanke kicked through fellow England international Guehi when dragging Spurs back into a game that was threatening to get away from them.

Rodri was on post-match media duty and spoke openly about feelings in the City camp. He told Stan Sport: “I know we won too much and the people don’t want us to win but the referee has to be neutral and for me honestly, it’s not fair. It’s not fair because we work so hard in these situations and now to make these decisions, we have to move on.

“Of course you need to come back but at the end, when everything is finished, we are frustrated because it’s so clear the foul. He kicked the leg and of course with the push of the action on the ball, the ball goes in.

“We have to pay attention to these little things otherwise it’s going to be difficult for everyone because this league is like this – it’s about small details and everything counts, so I think today is a very tough day for us in this sense.”

Rodri added on an unfortunate run of supposed misfortune on the VAR front: “I don’t know how to feel. Now I see the images. On the pitch you don’t see. It’s a clear foul in the first action of the goal.

“It’s a clear foul and VAR is (there) for a reason. These small details make the difference. We’re trying to do our best, it’s the first goal they scored and maybe if they don’t score the goal, we win the game.

“It’s one game and another game and it’s not possible. And honestly I never speak about referees, I respect their job massively, but they have to pay attention to these things. He’s kicked the leg. It’s so clear, it’s so clear. He anticipated the leg of Marc and it’s a clear foul, but it’s not today, it’s two or three games in a row and I don’t know why, honestly.”

Guardiola was also less than impressed with the performance of match officials against Spurs. He said of the contentious incident involving Solanke and Guehi: “Once again... Have you seen it? Nothing. It's happened once again. What can I say? Marc has the ball, he's been kicked from behind, and it's a goal. Nothing. One more."

He added when speaking to BBC Sport: "Well, if you do it to a striker it would be a penalty. I'm not a referee. Fascinating in the Premier League.”

City are entering another big week on the trophy-hunting front, with the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Newcastle taking place at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. They will then head to Anfield on Sunday for a meeting with old adversaries Liverpool.

It took only 11 minutes for City to open the scoring. Yves Bissouma had his pocket picked by Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland played the loose ball into Rayan Cherki, who ran towards the Spurs box and fired into the bottom corner.

Cherki nearly had a brace when he wriggled his way past sliding challenges rom Cristian Romero and Bissouma before bringing an incredible save out of Guglielmo Vicario. But City eventually added their second on the stroke of half-time; Radu Dragusin's aimless pass into midfield was cut out by Rodri, retrieved by Bernardo and squared for Antoine Semenyo to finish.

On the other side of the break, Gianluigi Donnarumma was forced into a fine save to deny a fierce strike from countryman Destiny Udogie as Tottenham looked to mount a comeback. And Spurs had the ball in the net soon after through Dominic Solanke, who raced ahead of the City backline and finished from close range after being played through by Xavi Simons. Replays showed that while Solanke was marginally onside in build up, he kicked through the calf of Marc Guehi to force the ball in, with City unhappy a foul wasn't given.

With 20 minutes remaining, Tottenham pulled level in remarkable fashion. Conor Gallagher won the ball after Guehi's header hit Nico Gonzalez, and the ex-Chelsea midfielder crossed for Solanke to convert with an outrageous scorpion kick that Donnarumma could only get a slight touch of his glove on.

Donnarumma did make superb saves to deny Simons and Wilson Odobert in the minutes afterwards, while Tijjani Reijnders twice headed wide at the other end, but neither side could find a winner and the points were shared.

GOAL rates City's players from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium...

Gianluigi Donnarumma (8/10):

Another game in which the saves of Donnarumma made up for City's inability to stem back the tide.

Matheus Nunes (6/10):

Has quietly become a dependable right-back for City, with little fuss made over the Portuguese's performance.

Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10):

For the most part was imperious and up to the challenge, but he was brutally bodied by Solanke leading to Spurs' first goal and it wasn't a pretty image for the Uzbekistan international.

Marc Guehi (6/10):

Like Khusanov, appeared to be on top of a limp Spurs, but the second half changed everything. Maybe a tad unfortunate to have not had a foul called against him for Solanke's first but didn't cover himself in glory for the second.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (6/10):

Tidy and sometimes adventurous in possession. Took on some heavy challenges before being subbed for Gonzalez.

Man City are still in the title race, but they need three points at a ground where they've recently struggled against Tottenham.

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Tottenham have joined Napoli in ruling themselves out of the running for Sterling, leaving the winger’s future in limbo just days after he became a free agent. The north London club had been touted as a potential destination for the four-time Premier League winner, who was keen to remain in the capital for family reasons. With Spurs looking to bolster their attack to correct a slump that sees them languishing in 14th place domestically, a short-term deal for a proven winner appeared to be a logical solution.

However, journalist Alasdair Gold reports that Tottenham have decided not to proceed with formal negotiations. Despite the lack of a transfer fee, the financial package required to sign Sterling remains significant. The player was earning £325,000 a week at Stamford Bridge, and while he is expected to take a pay cut, his salary expectations still far exceed the structure Spurs are willing to break for a player over 30.

The rejection from Tottenham is the latest twist in a chaotic week for Sterling. On Wednesday, his three-and-a-half-year spell at Chelsea was brought to an end by mutual consent. The club and player agreed to rip up the remaining 18 months of his contract to end his exile from the first team, allowing him to hit the open market immediately.

Sterling took to social media to declare "All eyes on the future," but that future is becoming harder to predict. The winger’s camp had hoped that his free-agent status would trigger a scramble for his signature among the Premier League’s elite. Instead, the market has been hesitant, with clubs wary of the financial commitment involved.

The player had previously been reluctant to uproot his children from their schools in London, a stance that made a move to Spurs or a stay in the Premier League his priority. However, with domestic doors closing, Daily Mail Sport reports that there are still several clubs interested in signing him.

Tottenham are not the only club to publicly distance themselves from the forward. Earlier this week, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna poured cold water on suggestions that the Serie A side could offer Sterling an escape route. Speaking ahead of Napoli’s Champions League defeat to Chelsea, Manna admitted talks had taken place in the summer but cited the player’s "significant financial expectations" as a deal-breaker.

This pattern is emerging across Europe. While Sterling’s pedigree - having starred for Liverpool, Manchester City and England - is elite, the economic landscape of European football means few clubs outside the Premier League can match his previous earnings.

This reality may force Sterling to look further afield. The Saudi Pro League remains a viable option for a final lucrative payday, though it is unclear if Sterling is ready to leave European football entirely. Alternatively, a move to MLS could appeal to his lifestyle, but the timing of their season and salary cap rules present their own hurdles.

For Tottenham, the decision to snub Sterling aligns with a broader deadline day approach of caution. Alasdair Gold reports Spurs will not be signing Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, and the stance on Sterling is equally firm. Instead of recruiting high-profile veterans, manager Thomas Frank is placing his faith in his current crop, including Dominic Solanke, who recently helped fire the club into the Champions League last-16.

While the free nature of the Sterling deal was tempting, Spurs are wary of disrupting their wage bill or blocking pathways for younger talents. As the transfer window enters its final hours, it appears Tottenham’s chequebook will remain closed to big-name salvages, leaving Sterling to continue his search for a new home elsewhere.

Tottenham had the ball in the net inside two minutes through Xavi Simons, who was quickest to react when goalkeeper Kaua Santos pushed out a low cross from Randal Kolo Muani into the box, but the goal was seemingly ruled out for a foul by Destiny Udogie when in an offside position during the build-up.

The visitors went close again after half an hour when a flowing move ended with Wilson Odobert striking the inside of the post from 20 yards, before Simons dribbled his way into the area but saw his close-range effort kept out by Santos.

At the other end, Eintracht rattled the bar through Hugo Larsson after he timed his run to perfection to beat the offside trap as the two sides went into the half-time break on level terms.

Within 120 seconds of the restart, Spurs had the lead. From a free-kick, Simons whipped in a deep cross for Cristian Romero to head back across the face of goal, where Kolo Muani was on hand to score against his former side.

Tottenham doubled that advantage with just 15 minutes remaining when Mahmoud Dahoud tried to intercept a high pass into Simons but inadvertently set substitute Dominic Solanke racing away instead, and he grabbed his second goal away at Frankfurt in as many seasons with a well-placed finish to wrap up the points.

GOAL rates Tottenham's players from Deutsche Bank Park...

Guglielmo Vicario (6/10):

A rare quiet night for Tottenham's goalkeeper, who ended the league phase with six clean sheets from eight games.

Joao Palhinha (6/10):

Dropped into a back five though was often found pressing higher up the pitch as an extra man. Strong in the tackle as ever.

Cristian Romero (8/10):

Another game, another goal contribution for Tottenham's captain. A constant menace in the Eintracht box and his assist for Kolo Muani came as no surprise.

Kevin Danso (7/10):

Given licence to roam forward down the left channel. Collided with Romero on a corner midway through the first half and moved gingerly from there on out. Though the hosts targeted him for this reason, the Austrian more than held his own.

Djed Spence (6/10):

A rare outing on his favoured right side due to an injury to Porro. Effective at both ends of the pitch, defending well while delivering some teasing crosses.

Archie Gray (6/10):

Another dutiful if unspectacular performance from the teenager in his preferred midfield role.

Pape Matar Sarr (6/10):

Made his first start since returning from his successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Senegal. Popped up all over the pitch, winning the ball back and moving it on.

Destiny Udogie (7/10):

Made a couple of vital last-ditch challenges to deny Eintracht when Spurs' line was high. Continually provided width down the wing to open the game up.

Wilson Odobert (7/10):

The protagonist of the first half, continually finding joy down the right. Quietened after the break and was withdrawn for Solanke.

Randal Kolo Muani (8/10):

Was involved in a minor car accident with Odobert on Tuesday, but was deemed fit to play and scored against his second former side this Champions League campaign having already netted against parent club Paris Saint-Germain. Afforded a rest late on for Scarlett.

Xavi Simons (7/10):

A wizard of dribble with the ball at his feet, no question. His weight of pass and shot was usually his let down, however. Came up with the cross that led to Kolo Muani's goal.

Organisers of the growing protest movement at Tottenham are hoping to utilise the global spotlight of a match against the champions to force their grievances into the public eye. With Sunday’s kick-off against Manchester City set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports, the group 'Change for Tottenham' has released a detailed plan of action designed to embarrass the ownership and highlight the depth of feeling in the stands.

The headline act of the demonstration is a coordinated walkout scheduled for the 75th minute of the match. The group took to social media on Tuesday evening to encourage all match-going fans to vacate their seats a quarter of an hour before the final whistle, regardless of the scoreline, and watch the remainder of the game from local pubs.

The aim is to create a stark visual representation of the fans' unhappiness. In a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, the group declared: "This match is live on TV. The world will be watching. This would make a big statement. If the stadium empties, the message is undeniable. If we stay seated and quiet, the board will ignore us again."

The organisers believe that rows of empty seats during the climax of a high-profile fixture will be impossible for broadcasters and the club's hierarchy to ignore, serving as a powerful symbol that the supporters' patience has snapped.

The call for drastic action follows a season marred by growing friction between the fanbase and the boardroom. Supporters have cited a litany of issues sparking the unrest, ranging from poor results on the pitch and a worsening injury crisis to anger over high ticket prices and the club’s perceived lack of ambition in the transfer market.

This is not the first time fans have mobilised this month. A similar protest was organised ahead of the recent London derby against West Ham, a match that ended in a dramatic 2-1 defeat for Spurs. On that occasion, fans gathered at Park Lane before kick-off to march on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While the group claimed at least 300 supporters descended on the ground, onlookers suggested the turnout was lower.

Inside the stadium, the dissent continued with yellow banners reading ‘Time for Change’ being waved, alongside flags and scarves. The group is now calling for an escalation of these tactics this weekend, urging fans to congregate outside the South Stand 30 minutes before kick-off armed with banners to join in chants against the ownership.

Beyond the visual protests, 'Change for Tottenham' is also urging a financial boycott of the matchday experience. The group has instructed supporters not to spend any money inside the stadium, deploying the slogan "don't fund the failure".

The strategy is two-fold: hit the club's image with the walkout and hit their matchday revenue streams by refusing to buy food, drink, or merchandise. The group insists that passive support is no longer an option if fans want to see genuine reform at the club.

"The board will not listen to silence," the group wrote. "They will not listen to patience. They will only listen when matchgoing fans show visible, collective discontent. If we don’t act together inside the stadium, nothing changes."

The unrest has not gone unnoticed by the club's hierarchy. Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham recently took the step of penning an open letter to the disgruntled fanbase, attempting to bridge the widening gap. In his correspondence, he acknowledged the toxicity of the current atmosphere and pledged to repair the relationship.

"We know there is distance between the club and our supporters and we are committed to rebuilding that connection," Venkatesham wrote. The letter was an attempt to placate the growing anger, emphasising that the administration understands the value of the supporters.

"Tottenham Hotspur cannot exist without you, our supporters," the detailed update concluded. "We are built on the loyalty, passion and commitment of those who follow us, and we do not underestimate what supporting our club means. Your dedication matters deeply. Thank you for your ongoing support. We are determined to deliver a future that reflects it."

Whether these words will be enough to dissuade fans from leaving their seats on Sunday remains to be seen, but the stage is set for a potentially volatile afternoon in north London.

An already-eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping to put Tottenham Hotspur's direct qualification to the Round of 16 at risk when the two teams meet in Germany.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham kick-off time

Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham will kick off on 28 Jan 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Frankfurt are winless in their last six matches across all competitions, including back-to-back defeats in their recent games. The German side have already eliminated as their campaign has been dismal: which sees them placed 33rd in the league phase standings and they will be playing for pride when they host Tottenham.

Tottenham, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last two matches, including a Champions League victory against Borussia Dortmund. However, the fifth-placed side have one foot in the Round of 16 as a win and possibly a draw could be enough to secure direct qualification. A defeat to Frankfurt could see Spurs drop out of the top eight entirely, forcing them into the knockout playoffs as they're safe for at least 9-24.

Injury news & key stats

Frankfurt will be missing six key players due to injuries as Jonathan Burkardt, Can Uzun, Elias Baum, Michy Batshuayi, Timothy Chandler, and Younes Ebnoutalib are all sidelined, but there are no suspension issues for the Bundesliga side.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will also be without several players due to injuries, including key absentees like Pedro Porro, Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, but the Premier League club have no suspension worries.

Frankfurt and Tottenham have met each other four times in European competitions.

Tottenham have dominated this rivalry, winning two and drawing two.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Guglielmo Vicario (6/10):

Had another nervy moment with the ball at his feet but cleared his lines before Dortmund could take advantage. Barely tested otherwise bar a save to deny Schlotterbeck in second-half stoppage time.

Pedro Porro (8/10):

An all-action night for the Spaniard. Teamed up well with Odobert down the right flank and continually gave Dortmund something to think about with his attacking tendencies. Ended the match as a central midfielder after Bergvall was taken off.

Kevin Danso (6/10):

Was probably expecting a busier evening, but even at 11-v-11 the Austrian had little on his plate to deal with.

Cristian Romero (8/10):

A second goal in as many games for the skipper, who has now scored a career-high five in all competitions this season.

Destiny Udogie (6/10):

Made his first start since December 2 but showed no signs of rustiness, willingly joining Spence in attacks down the left and later coming into midfield to create overloads.

Archie Gray (6/10):

Held his own against Dortmund's physical midfielders, though sometimes was sloppy in possession.

Lucas Bergvall (6/10):

Looked far more comfortable deeper in midfield having played most of the season as a No.10 or winger. Picked up a knock and had to be subbed.

Xavi Simons (8/10):

Having struggled to make much of an impact in the Premier League so far in a Tottenham shirt, the mercurial Dutchman appeared far more at ease against familiar Bundesliga opposition, pulling the strings and pressing aggressively throughout.

Wilson Odobert (9/10):

Put in the sort of performance that makes you realise why exactly Spurs have persisted with signing such raw talent. Ran rings around Dortmund and provided the assists for both goals with delicious crosses.

Dominic Solanke (9/10):

A tremendous performance on his first start of the season, putting his injury hell behind him. Proved a useful presence up front and brought others into play, making him great value for his goal. Controversially put back into Spurs' Champions League squad for the popular Mathys Tel and justified his inclusion. Subbed for Kolo Muani to a standing ovation.

Djed Spence (7/10):

Tottenham's injury crisis left them with one eligible natural winger for this clash, and so Spence was pushed higher up the pitch to compensate. Like Odobert on the other side, he enjoyed running at a ragged Dortmund defence.

Jun'ai Byfield (6/10):

On for his debut as Spurs' youngest-ever Champions League player at 17 years and 45 days in place of the injured Bergvall. Slotted in at right-back and didn't look out of place.

Randal Kolo Muani (5/10):

Replaced Solanke after the England striker had taken his spot in the starting XI. Fluffed his lines when one-on-one with goalkeeper Kobel to the audible frustration of home fans.

Thomas Frank (8/10):

Boy, did the Spurs gaffer need a result and a performance here. Tottenham were rewarded for their first start with a goal and a slice of fortune which saw Dortmund reduced to 10 men. His gamble on selecting Solanke over Tel paid off, too.
