One of two headline clashes on Saturday, Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side travel north to Manchester having been knocked out of the FA Cup in a 5-4 thriller with Everton in midweek.
While this is traditionally a ‘Big Six’ clash, form would suggest the hosts largely have the upper hand in this one as their 3-1 win over Championship side Swansea set a new English record of 15 consecutive wins in all competitions from a top-flight team.
That defeat at Goodison Park was the fourth in five matches for the Lilywhites who are really struggling to gather any momentum at the moment. Their only win in this time came against a relegation threatened West Brom side and fans will be needing a Mourinho masterclass if they’re to get anything from this game.
It should be noted that Tottenham ran out 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture back in November, though the situations at both clubs were starkly different with The London side coming into that game unbeaten since the opening day and off the back of three straight victories, while their visitors had yet to get up and running in the league after a W3-D3-L1 record heading into that match, so we’d take it with a pinch of salt.
Man City To Win And Both Teams To Score
Aside from that result and a 6-1 hammering at Old Trafford all the way back at the beginning of October, the visitors have lost five of their other seven winless matches against sides above them heading into this weekend, and it’s hard to envisage anything other than a home win here.
The single reservation about that is the fact that the Citizens haven’t beaten a current top-eight side at home this year, drawing with Liverpool and losing to Leicester, though the fact that those are the only two such matches they’ve played and both came prior to the reverse of this fixture, we’re inclined to get behind the home win in some capacity.
While John Stones and Ruben Diaz have been praised for their defensive performances this season, as Man City have conceded just once from open play when they’ve been partnered at the back together, there’s every reason to believe Spurs can get a goal at the Etihad.
Firstly, very few teams can keep Kane and Son quiet for a full 90 minutes, and Spurs’ poor run has directly coincided with Kane’s absence from the side, and two goals in as many matches on his return shows there’s no need for him to ease his way back in. Secondly, Man City have conceded in six of their seven matches against the current top eight, and at the odds, it’s certainly worth backing the visitors to get on the scoresheet.
