Arsenal fans set off fireworks outside ‘Man City hotel’ at 2am before Tottenham game – but team were still in MANCHESTER
ARSENAL fans set off fireworks outside Manchester City’ team hotel in the early hours of Tuesday morning – only to discover that Pep Guardiola and his players were not there.
City face Tottenham in a huge Premier League clash this evening.
Should the reigning champions win, they will go into the final day two points clear of title challengers Arsenal.
But if Spurs take points from them, the Gunners will be in the driving seat come Sunday.
In a bid to hinder City’s chances, Arsenal fans set fireworks off outside the hotel Guardiola‘s side were due to be staying at.
The Ashburton Army, an Arsenal supporters group, put on the display at 2am.
However, Man City were still in Manchester at the time.
The Cityzens had instead planned to travel down to London on Tuesday morning.
Hundreds of tickets are still available for the match, with many Spurs supporters conflicted about the potential result.
Arsenal fans are desperate for Spurs to avoid defeat against Man City.

SunSport columnist Piers Morgan has even admitted he will become a Tottenham fan for the day.
However, Ange Postecoglou insists his team are in it to win it.
During his pre-match press conference, the Spurs boss said: “I understand rivalry. I was part of one of the biggest ones in the world in the last couple of years with Celtic and Rangers.
“But I’ve never, and will never, understand if someone wants their own team to lose. That’s not what sport is about. It’s not what I love about the game.”
He then went on to add: “Real success looks like trophies. Anything else in between, bragging rights, whatever, it is absolutely meaningless to me.
“What do you think is going to happen? What do you think we are going to do as a team, or any team on this planet? Aren’t we going to just try to win? It’s a simple premise.
“How that makes people feel, I’m not really fussed and I don’t really care.”
