Manchester City welcome a wounded Tottenham to the Etihad Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League contest.
The Cityzens fought back from two goals down to complete a thrilling victory against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday, and will take that momentum into this weekend’s affair.
Pep Guardiola’s side boast a 100% record in Europe, and are undefeated in their last eight matches in all competitions.
With European competition now on the back burner – Manchester City will look to wrestle back their advantage in the Premier League having suffered two late draws against Chelsea and Liverpool.
City are in second position, one point behind leaders Arsenal after 13 matches. Unusually, they also have sides breathing down their necks with Liverpool, Villa and opponents Tottenham all within striking distance.
Spurs are known for being City’s bogey team with the London side having won FIVE of their last EIGHT meetings, but another upset looks extremely unlikely this weekend
Ange Postecoglou’s side are struggling with injuries. Key players including Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are all unavailable – leaving Spurs down to the bare bones.
Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
Treble-winners Manchester City could have an absolute field day against Tottenham this weekend.
The Citizens are fresh off the back of an electric 3-2 Champions League win over RB Leipzig, and have won eight of their last nine on home turf – scoring 26 goals in the process.
As discussed, Spurs really are running on fumes with so many important players sidelined.
And despite their numerous absences, Ange Postecoglou will stick to his brave attacking philosophies, which could leave his side vulnerable against such ruthless and clinical opposition.
If Manchester City thrive, Erling Haaland is usually involved. The Norwegian international, 23, has already struck 19 goals in 20 matches in all competitions.
His tally includes six braces and a hat-trick, with 11 goals registered in his last eight games for the reigning champions.
That’s bad news for visiting Tottenham, whose makeshift defence has leaked eight goals in the last three games against Chelsea, Wolves and Aston Villa.
He’s electric. And his value is on the rise. Manchester City were trailing 2-0 before his introduction sparked a turnaround earlier this week.
The summer recruit has has already notched up three goals and six assists in 16 matches for the champions, and he should profit again against an attack-minded outfit.
He’s managed 18 efforts on goal in 652 minutes of league action, meaning he’s average a shot every 36 minutes. He’s also created a whopping 19 chances for his colleagues.
