Tottenham v Manchester City Betting Tips
What a fantastic set up we have for this clash which should be the highlight of the weekend in the English top flight. This is a top two clash in the table after Spurs closed in with a good win over Middlesbrough last time out. They are still four points behind leaders City though, so the win here is going to be a little more important to them than City. The six teams to have faced City so far in the Premier League have all fallen to them, so can Spurs undo them? Tottenham have a decent record in the Premier League against City actually, as the Lilywhites have won 22 of their 38 previous Premier League games against the Citizens. If they beat City on Sunday, then they will have taken more Premier League wins against City than against any other club.
So that is a good pointer for Spurs in this one and their current form is bang on point in the top flight. They have put together a four-match winning streak in the Premier League and even the rare loss of Harry Kane through injury hasn’t slowed their progress. They can also boast the best defence in the Premier League this season as they have conceded just the three goals in their six games. At home, they have put up a W2 D1 record so far and have shipped just one goal, that coming in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Their other games at the Lane saw Spurs win by a 1-0 scoreline and a repeat of that can be backed at 11/1 in the correct score market with online betting site Paddy Power.
However, with the way that City are going, you may be tempted to look for a bigger return of goals from the match. Over 2.5 goals on the fixture will return you a price of 8/11 and you can have a punt on 8/13 on both teams scoring in the match as well. There have, after all, been a total of 22 goals scored in the last five Premier League meetings between these sides at White Hart Lane (9 for Spurs, 13 for Man City). Son Heung-Min has really stepped up in the absence of Kane with four goals in his last three games and he is a price of 21/10 in the anytime goalscorer market, with Vincent Janssen at 9/4. Spurs and City are the only two unbeaten sides remaining in the top flight this season.
Tottenham have won their last two Premier League games against the Citizens and may fancy their chances. Despite that, Spurs have only a W2 D1 L8 record in their last eleven league games against the Citizens. City have won all six of their Premier League game this season of course but they have only taken the one clean sheet along the way. In the other five, they conceded exactly one goal in each. Sergio Aguero is a 10/3 option in the First Goalscorer market and looks value there, while Kelechi Iheanacho is at 11/2. Aguero has scored four goals in two Premier League away games this season and has now hit a phenomenal 28 goals in his last 27 league appearances for the Citizens. His mins-per-goal rate of one every 106 minutes is the best rate in Premier League history, 15 minutes quicker than Thierry Henry in second place.

Man City 11/10, Tottenham 5/2, Draw 12/5
Tottenham v Manchester City Predictions
City certainly have more firepower in their ranks than Tottenham do, but the Citizens will go up against a very tough Tottenham defence. Which will remain unbeaten this season. Tottenham have only gotten by at home this season but the narrowest of margins and they will face a sterner test against City than they did against Crystal Palace and Sunderland there. Look for both teams to score, but for City to land the win.
