Man City Crumbles: Is Their Title Hopes Slipping Away?

Manchester City's shocking 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham on Sunday has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, and their title hopes are now hanging by a thread. For the first time since the 2016/2017 campaign, City have slipped to third favourites in the title market, according to Sky Bet.

Despite being second on the table, Pep Guardiola's men are facing a crisis of confidence after their humiliating loss to Spurs. The Citizens were expected to bounce back from their recent setbacks, but instead, they were left reeling by Tottenham's attack.

The defeat has raised more questions about City's title credentials, and many are wondering if they have what it takes to win the league. With Liverpool and Arsenal looking stronger than ever, City's chances of catching up are looking increasingly slim.

Guardiola's tactics have come under scrutiny, and many are calling for him to rethink his approach. The Spanish manager has always been known for his attacking flair, but his team's defensive woes are a major concern. The 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham exposed City's vulnerabilities at the back, and it remains to be seen how they will address these issues.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's victory has given them a massive boost in their pursuit of a top-four finish. Antonio Conte's men were clinical in their victory, with their attack causing problems for City's defence all afternoon. The win has also seen Tottenham leapfrog City in the title market, and they are now fancying their chances of a title push.

The defeat is a wake-up call for City, and they must respond quickly to keep their title hopes alive. With a crucial run of fixtures coming up, City must rediscover their form if they are to stand any chance of winning the league.
