Man City boss Guardiola: Haaland vs Kane will be decisive

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola accepts their strikers are likely to decide tomorrow's clash with Tottenham.

City's Erling Haaland leads the Premier League Golden Boot race with 25 goals so far while Spurs man Harry Kane is second on 16.

The pair will line up on opposite sides in North London tomorrow.

"We are extremely happy with Erling Haaland and of course I think Tottenham are extremely happy with Harry Kane," he said.

"What an exceptional player. What Harry Kane has done is amazing, the goals, the quality he has.

"Harry Kane remains one of the best strikers I have seen in my life. Not even winning. It doesn't matter.

"It's like with managers. There are incredible, incredible managers that do not win titles, they are bad managers because they don't win the title? No. Sometimes it happens.

"I think Tottenham are happy to have him. We are extremely happy to have this young player like Erling that I think is going to give us many good years."
