It's a big compliment coming from Hansen. He usually dismisses Spurs for lack of character (or "grit and determination" as he calls it). Perhaps he thinks this Spurs' team is made of sterner stuff.
City are wobbling, but they do now have a relative straightforward run of games, whereas Spurs and Utd have tricky ones. And one or both are going to drop points on 4th March. If Utd are ahead of Spurs and within 3 points of City by then, you'd be brave to back against us.
Mancini will get increasing conservative in his selections (de Jong for Barry at 0-1

). Spurs need to get 8-10 points from Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal away and Utd at home. Points win prizes; it's no good saying "we were the better team, but....". The key for Spurs will be the defence. Can you shut out these teams for 90 minutes and win ugly if necessary?
