Manchester City could go top of the Premier League table if they beat Tottenham away.

And while the juggernaut continues on its stated path of a quadruple, Pat Nevin analyzed one major weakness for Manuel Pellegrini's side.

"He wants them to be ultra-attacking. When you look at them away from home, both of their full-backs will go forward all the time and will be caught behind. They've got one very good central defender. So they have got a weakness in the defensive area," said Pat.

"Teams in the top quartet know for a fact that if there is a weakness in the team, it will be found out. So they will be tested in the full-back areas even though the full-backs are amazing going forwards. But defensively they can be average on occasions."  

Pat also believes Tim Sherwood's Tottenham will fall short in their battle for the Top 4 because Manchester United and Liverpool are more likely to achieve that place.
