Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino on the importance of this game: "To arrive at the end in the position we are and to improve our position you need to win games. But it's not decisive. It's very important but it's not the last game. They know, and we know, we are in a position where there are 13 games ahead, but after the next game it is 12 and we are going into the more important period in the league."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "Like I said last week, it's not a decisive game but a very important game - afterwards we play for another 36 points. For our team, it's important to try to return to the top of the table. Two or three teams are in front of us in this moment so we must try to reclaim the points.
