Manchester City vs Tottenham prediction, preview, team news and more | League Cup 2020-21

Wembley Stadium plays host to the 2020-21 League Cup final on Sunday as Manchester City take on Tottenham.

The Cityzens will be looking to clinch the title for the fourth year running, while Spurs come into this one aiming to end their 13-year wait for silverware.

Manchester City quickly bounced back from their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea as they claimed a 2-1 win over Aston Villa last time out.

The result saw their dreams of winning the quadruple come to an end but they remain in the mix for the Champions League, Premier League and League Cup titles.

They will now aim to claim their sixth League Cup win in seven years on Sunday when they lock horns with Tottenham.

They are also the reigning champions and could now make it four title wins in four seasons with a victory against struggling Tottenham.

Following the sacking of Jose Mourinho, Tottenham will come into this tie with high hopes after claiming an impressive win over Southampton on Wednesday.

With newly appointed interim boss Ryan Mason in the dugout, Gareth Bale and Son Heung-Min were on target to help Spurs claim a 2-1 comeback win.

A victory for Tottenham would see them claim their first silverware since 2008. However, they must overcome the daunting task of facing Manchester City, who are unbeaten in the competition since 2016.
