Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou has suggested social media-obsessed fans who want the team to lose against Manchester City 'need counselling'.
A Spurs result against the defending champions on Tuesday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will put their arch rivals Arsenal in the driving seat to win the Premier League title on the final matchday.
The Gunners currently lead City by one point in the championship race but only have one game remaining against Everton at home, while City travel to Spurs and host West Ham.

Several Tottenham fans want loss against Man City to hurt Arsenal
Some Spurs supporters, via social media, have claimed they would rather lose against Man City, than win and give Arsenal the box seat to win their first Premier League title in 20 years.
There has also been a suggestion that Tottenham's celebrations and lingering on the pitch at their home stadium during last weekend's win against Burnley says that team isn't taking the seasons's final match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seriously.
I don't get why these reporters have no arsehole. Just shut the arrogant prick up and respond by saying '100% of your fans want you to lose'. There isn't one single Tottenham fan who wants their team to win tomorrow, I guarantee you that. https://t.co/xqLXscz9bs

Ange Postecoglou press conference: Tottenham boss responds to claims Spurs want to lose
In a press conference 24 hours before the game, Postecoglou responded to claims Tottenham fans would rather lose at City and deny Arsenal a shot at the Premier League title.
"If you're going by social media then 99 per cent of them will [want Spurs to lose] but please don't tell me that's your world," he said.
"If it is, you need counselling.
"I understand rivalry but I'll never understand anyone wanting their own team to lose."
Postecoglou added: "You think the majority of our fans are not going to want us to win? I don't see it that way.
"I think the majority will create the atmosphere they always create because we've got a game of football to try and win."
