Harry Redknapp: Manchester City are not bulletproof

The former Spurs boss says Tottenham must face the Citizens with confidence.

Tottenham

will face

Manchester City

in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. Having won only two of their last five Premier League matches, the Spurs have not been in good form recently. They sacked

Jose Mourinho

only six days before the final, but

Harry Redknapp

says the north London club must play with confidence against Pep Guardiola’s side.

“Man City are not bulletproof,”

Redknapp told

Goal.com

.

“Chelsea showed that last week, Leeds showed it recently.

“You’ve got to be positive. If you go there and you’re fearful, and sit off and let them have the ball, passive, you’ll pay the price. You’ve got to get amongst them. Let them knock the ball about and they’ll pass you to death. Get on the front foot.”

Redknapp believes Tottenham players can maintain enough individual quality to beat Manchester City.

“No matter what, Tottenham have good players. I watched Gareth Bale the other night against Southampton, he was the best player on the pitch. If he feels good about himself, if he feels loved and wanted, he comes out on Sunday and thinks ‘I’m going to murder that left-back of Man City', which I think he can.

“And if Harry Kane and Son are there, Tottenham have a genuine chance. I love Dele Alli. He’s a fantastic player. Someone has to get a grip of him, maybe he needs to get a grip of himself as well, but he can really play. He can make a difference.

“I would love to see it Sunday. Bring him back in, play him behind Kane, Son on one side, Bale on the other. That would be a bold move, wouldn’t it? That’s a good starting point, Ndombele in midfield.

“You’ve got to have a chance with that!”

After their clash against Manchester City, Tottenham will play against

Sheffield United

in their next Premier League match on Sunday.
