Location: Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Odds: Manchester City 1/2* – Draw 18/5* – Tottenham Hotspur 17/4*
Manchester City have lost four matches on the bounce for the first time under Pep Guardiola. While many blame Rodri’s absence, the reality is that the champions haven’t been at their scintillating best so far this term, and they will need to pick up the pace if they’re to catch Liverpool at the top.
Tottenham have had a typically up and down campaign so far. Just when Ange Postecoglou thought his team had turned a corner, Spurs lost at home to Ipswich Town, with the Tractor Boys securing their first EPL win of the campaign.
So, who’s likely to triumph in this one? Let’s look ahead to your Man City v Spurs betting options at talkSPORT BET, including tips and insight into this EPL fixture.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tips
Despite their poor recent run of form, Man City are the favourites to beat Spurs at the Etihad Stadium. Here are some insights and tips to consider ahead of this match:
- The teams are evenly matched in the past five EPL meetings. Spurs won two, while Man City won two. There has also been a draw. Therefore, picking a winner might not be straightforward, though home advantage means Man City are the favourites.
- Man City and Spurs have shared 20 goals in their past five EPL fixtures, averaging four per game. Therefore, a bet on the total goals market could be a good shout; with over 3.5 goals to be scored, looking like a good option.
- Both teams have scored in the previous three meetings between the two at the Etihad, with score lines of 3-3, 4-2, and 2-3, respectively. Therefore, a straightforward both-teams-to-score wager could be a good choice.
This Fixture in History
Spurs have the upper hand on Manchester City in EPL history. The teams have met 54 times, with Spurs winning 28 times and Manchester City securing 18 wins. There have only been eight draws between the two teams, signifying that there’s typically a winner when they meet.
Man City have lost their last two EPL games against Brighton and Bournemouth, while Spurs have lost three of their previous five against Ipswich, Crystal Palace and Brighton. Therefore, the two teams need to recapture their form ahead of the important festive fixtures.
Manchester City Man to Watch: Erling Haaland
With Rodri’s long-term injury leaving a gaping hole in the Champions’ midfield, City can at least rely on the firepower of their Norwegian goal machine to keep the pressure on Liverpool.
Erling Haaland already has 12 EPL goals to his name so far this season, and he leads the top-goalscorer charts by four goals. Though City haven’t been in good form, and the Norwegian hasn’t been so prolific of late, it’s impossible to write them off when Haaland’s around.
Tottenham Hotspur Man to Watch: Brennan Johnson
Brennan Johnson has been a revelation in Spurs’ front three this season, bagging four league goals to lead Tottenham’s scoring charts alongside Dominic Solanke.
The flying Welshman has pace to burn and gets into great positions in the attacking third, offering a huge threat on the wing. He’s undoubtedly one of Tottenham’s most exciting players, and if Johnson is on form, he could be vital to unlocking Manchester City’s defence.
