Manchester City v Tottenham Betting Tips – Premier League 16th December 5.30pm
Manchester City extended their record-breaking winning streak even further as they strolled to a 4-0 victory down at Swansea in midweek. That followed up their high-pressure victory at Old Trafford on the weekend of course and they just look unstoppable. Spurs head to the Etihad next looking to be the ones to stop the Citizens in their winning tracks. The Lilywhites have improved to back to back wins in the league but that hasn’t stopped them going off as heavy underdogs for this visit, especially with their poor away form going.
Manchester City News and Form
Manchester City are now on a fifteen match winning streak as they smashed Swansea 4-0 in midweek, which came after their big 2-1 win at Old Trafford against Manchester United last weekend. They still look fresh, they look sharp, confident and hungry. They have won their last seven in a row on home soil now but they will get a tough test at home against Spurs on the weekend as they try and extend that. The clean sheet against the Swans was City’s first in five matches and there is a decent chance of both teams to score for 8/13 returning some value in this one. City only have the one clean sheet in their last five home games. They, of course, have ridiculous scoring power with a tally of 28 goals in their eight home fixtures this season at an average of 3.5 goals per game and they have conceded only the six goals. 88% of their games at the Etihad have gone over 2.5 goals and 71% of their goals scored on home soil have been after the break. City have netted the first goal in six of their eight home games and have been up at the break in five. A Man City/Man City Half Time/Full time wager at William Hill is at 13/10 odds. Sergio Aguero was on the scoresheet again in midweek and is the 10/3 first goalscorer favourite for the match. City are on a ten match streak of scoring two or more goals in the Premier League.
Tottenham News and Form
This is a big game for Tottenham, not only because of the form of their opponents but because of their own poor road form. They have gone winless in their last four away games in the top flight, losing three of those and they have already fallen short in some big contests this term. They have lost against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal already this season and that should mean that they are vulnerable for this trip. Tottenham have netted only two goals in their last four away from Wembley but they will have a little confidence going into this one after having landed back to back league wins at home over Stoke and Brighton in the last week. Overall the Lilywhites are W4 D1 L3 this season on their travels and they have averaged 1.75 goals per game away from home while they have conceded an average of 1 goal per game away from Wembley. In the William Hill Correct score market a Man City 2-1 win is the shortest priced option at 8/1. Three of the four away defeats that Spurs have suffered this season out on their travels have been by a one goal margin only, but they have the fourth best defensive record in the top flight at the moment. Harry Kane has netted seven away goals for the club this season in the top flight and he is a price of 5/4 to get one in this game.

Manchester City v Tottenham Predictions
Man City to win: Spurs have had some misfires in their big contests this season and they are not carrying away form. Therefore City are going to be value to win this and probably only by the one goal margin as they have not been racking up those big wins recently and this should be competitive.
