Preview: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

16th December 2009

City head to White Hart Lane looking to get back to winning ways in what could be described as a 6-pointer between two sides looking to finish in the top four this season.

Player ratings: Bolton Wanderers v Manchester City

14th December 2009

Given – Will be bitterly disappointed at conceding three goals even if there was little he could do about any of them. 6

Richards – Got forward well and scored a fine goal. Question mark over the third Bolton goal when Ireland was the only City player trying to stop the cross. 6

Verdict: Bolton Wanderers 3 Manchester City 3
