We only think about winning, says Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski ahead of Manchester City tie

Tottenham could spoil Man City’s title hopes when they face in the midweek

Dejan Kulusevski is adamant that Tottenham are not considering doing Arsenal a favour and is only interested in winning versus Manchester City.

In an effort to win their first Premier League championship since 2004, the Gunners are hoping that City drops points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday.

With two games remaining, North London rivals Spurs, who are now four points and one spot below fourth-place Aston Villa, have a remote possibility of making the last four.

When asked if Spurs had considered the implications for Arsenal on Tuesday, Kulusevski responded as follows:  “No. When you play football, you want to win [for yourself], and that’s the only thing we think about.”

“I just want to win. I know it’s an amazing game now on Tuesday against City, and my focus is on that now. If we win, then anything can happen.

“It’s going to be an amazing game because we always have good games against City. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to play against the best. I think we will absolutely be ready.”

With five wins in their last ten meetings, Spurs have proven to be a formidable opponent for Pep Guardiola’s club in recent years.

After suffering four straight league losses that threatened to dim Ange Postecoglou’s promising first season, Spurs returned to winning form on Saturday, defeating Burnley 2-1 to send their opponents back to the Championship.

“It’s so important”, Kulusevski said of the victory. “It’s the worst thing to lose, and when you lose one time, two times, three and four times, it gets tough. So it was very important to get the win.

“It was difficult [against Burnley] — not an easy win. We have to get better, but in the end we found the goal.”
