Big Match Statistics – Spurs v City

The blues take on Spurs at White Hart Lane trying to improve on their dismal record in North London.

City have only won once at White Hart Lane in the Premiership and that came courtesy of a 2-0 win in April 2003, with David Sommeil and Joey Barton both getting on the scoresheet.

Since then, City have lost seven of the following eight visits there with the only point coming in April 2004 when Nicolas Anelka scored to give City a share of the spoils. The only other joy the blues have achieved in North London was coming from 3-0 down to beat Spurs 4-3 in the 4th round of the FA Cup in February 2004.

City fared no better in the days before the Premiership, losing 21 of the 46 games played at the Lane and winning on just 12 occasions.
