Manchester City ’s collapse in the Premier League this season can be put down to two defenders. City take on Tottenham today (4.30pm) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as they look to build a five-point cushion to third-placed Leicester in the Premier League. Yet the reigning champions look set to surrender their crown to Liverpool - barring a monumental collapse by the league leaders. Having won the title by just a point last season, City now find themselves 22 points behind the Reds going into today’s game. Liverpool look to have their first Premier League title wrapped up with three months to spare, and increased their lead at the summit on Saturday with a 4-0 thrashing of Southampton.
