Rafael van der Vaart believes that Manchester City have lost their consistency just as Tottenham Hotspur make a surge for the Premier League title.
The two sides go head to head next Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, with Spurs currently three points adrift of the North West leaders.
"They are not so consistent anymore," said Van der Vaart. "They have lost a few games recently, and maybe that's a little bit in their heads so we can take advantage."
Before Harry Redknapp's side meet Man City, they will have to keep up their pressure with a clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow.
