Spurs remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot, but dropping points at a frequent level gives them no margin for errors ahead. A win here would put the pressure on Manchester United and Newcastle in the Premier League standings, against a rival that is hard to beat. Tottenham enters this encounter after two away wins: 0-1 against Fulham in the Premier League and a 0-3 win over Preston in the FA Cup.
Some would say that the team performs poorly at home, especially in the back line and this is why City are the favourites on the most prestigious bonus betting sites. Lloris and his defenders have conceded twice in each of their last five home games, leaving no space for something more. The fact that the team concedes the first goal in all those encounters is identical to this situation stat.
Pedro Porro and Arnaut Danjuma are the new entries in the squad, both ready to make their Premier League debut. Porro came as a replacement for Doherty and Spence, who left the team in this transfer window. A serious absence is of course Antonio Conte, who must recover from gallbladder surgery. Christian Stellini will be his replacement.
Manchester City need to be perfect if they want to hope for the title this season. The Citizens seat eight points behind the magnificent Arsenal this season, a team that makes no mistakes as of now. Even though there are some differences in the Premier League, the Blues won over Arsenal in the FA Cup last Friday, throwing Mikel Arteta’s side out of the competition earlier than expected.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not a very friendly venue for Pep Guardiola, where he lost in all of his four visits, the worst individual record in his career. Tottenham vs Manchester City is always a puzzle to solve for the Spaniard, especially now that is team is not on the level that we are used to watching them perform, with Erliing Haaland being the only scoring constant this season, for a squad that dropped second in the Premier League winner odds recently.
The only problems are in the defence, especially now that Joao Cancelo’s departure shocked them all. Ake will be his replacement near Akanji, who will be a member of the starting-11 due to John Stone’s fresh injury.
