"If Manchester City win the treble, what is your next target?" That was the fairly standard question for Pep Guardiola last month, before City went on to secure the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies to make history.

Guardiola was clearly in a good mood, as he smiled and jokingly replied: "To score a goal at Tottenham away." The joke masks an ongoing run of poor performances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where City have lost every time they have visited, with away fans yet to celebrate a goal.

When City next travel to Spurs in the Premier League, they may do so knowing they must win to win the Premier League. The fixture computer couldn't have placed that particular game at a more inconvenient time for Guardiola.
