Tottenham vs Man City predictions: Hosts to draw first blood
Key stats
- While Man City conceded first in six of their last eight matches, Tottenham opened the scoring in six of their last eight games.
- Tottenham registered the first goal in seven of their last nine clashes with Man City.
- Man City have lost their last two clashes with Spurs.
- Eight of Man City's last nine trips to this stadium went below the 2.5-goal threshold.
Correct score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Man City
Despite being the favourites, Manchester City's recent form does not inspire much confidence. Pep Guardiola’s troops are coming off back-to-back defeats and have lost four of their last six games.
On the other hand, Tottenham have won three consecutive Premier League matches. They were also the victors in their last two clashes with Man City, including a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture.
With that in mind, we are leaning towards Tottenham for the win.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Man City are expected winners
- HOME: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- DRAW: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
- AWAY: 10/11 (1.91) – 52.4%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Manchester City's struggles continued with a 2-0 home defeat against Liverpool last weekend. Last week, they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after losing both legs of their playoff tie with Real Madrid.
Despite their recent shortcomings, Man City are the expected winners at 10/11 (1.91). Teams with these odds generally have a 52.4% probability of winning.

We have also pointed out that fewer than three goals were scored in eight of the last nine meetings between these teams at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. For this reason, under 3.5 total goals has an appealing look at 1/1 (2.00). That one has a 50% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: An even contest

Tottenham preview: A fair few absentees
Despite the long injury list, Tottenham defeated Ipswich Town 4-1 at Portman Road Stadium on Saturday to mark only the first time this season that Ange Postecoglou's side have strung together three consecutive wins in the Premier League.
Eyeing their fourth straight top-flight win, Spurs are expected to still remain without forwards Richarlison and Dominik Solanke, defenders Radu Dragusin, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, while the likes of Timo Werner and Kevin Danso remain questionable.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Udogie, Danso, Gray, Spence, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison, Son, Tel & Johnson.

Player to watch: Dejan Kulusevski
Tottenham have clashed with Manchester City twice this season, and Dejan Kulusevski set up the opening goal in both encounters. The Swedish midfielder was on the scoresheet in last weekend's 4-1 victory at Ipswich. He will look to score in back-to-back games for the first time since December.
