Tottenham vs Manchester City: match preview
Tottenham currently find themselves in the lower half of the table. The team sit in 14th place with 28 points after 23 rounds. Their cushion above the relegation zone stands at eight points, while the gap to the European places is nine points. In midweek, Spurs defeated Eintracht 2–0, but their Premier League form has been far from convincing. Tottenham have now gone five consecutive league matches without a win. As a result, the situation remains difficult, and the teams from the top six could once again pull further away.
Manchester City have also shown a lack of consistency in recent matches. In their previous five Premier League games, they have managed just one victory. Despite this, the Citizens trail the league leaders by only four points. Guardiola’s side therefore remain firmly in the title race. It is also worth noting that City beat Galatasaray 2–0 in midweek to qualify directly for the Champions League round of 16.
Probable line-ups
- Tottenham: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Gallagher; Odobert, Simons, Kolo Muani; Solanke
- Manchester City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O'Reilly; Rodri; Cherki, Silva, Reijnders, Semenyo; Haaland
Prediction
Tottenham picked up a midweek win in the Champions League, but Manchester City did the same and are currently in better form than their opponents. I therefore recommend a bet on a victory for the Citizens in this match.
