Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur dropped points again in the last round, drawing away with one of the league's outsiders, Burnley (2:2). As a result, the home side's winless run in the league has extended to five matches (three draws and two defeats). The home side has also conceded at least two goals in each of the previous three Premier League matches. In addition, the club has won just one of its last eight Premier League meetings (three draws and four defeats). The club has gradually slipped to 14th place and is already eight points clear of the bottom three.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Tottenham Hotspur's last 6 home league matches.
- Tottenham Hotspur have won just 1 of their previous 10 home Premier League matches (3 draws and 6 defeats).
- The club failed to score more than one goal in 8 of their last 10 home Premier League games.
Potential Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Guglielmo Vicario – Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danzo – Yves Bissouma, Conor Gallagher – Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, Jed Spence – Dominic Solanke.
Out injured are midfielders João Palhinha, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison, defenders Pedro Porro and Ben Davies, and forwards Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski. Participation of defender Micky van de Ven is in doubt.
Manchester City
Manchester City entered the previous round on a four-match winless run in the Premier League, in which they drew three times and also lost to Manchester United 0:2. However, the club beat a clear league outsider, Wolverhampton, thanks to two first-half goals (2:0). It is worth noting that the defeat to their neighbours was the only loss in the last 11 league meetings (seven wins and three draws). The club remain second, with the gap to leaders Arsenal reduced to four points.
- A maximum of two goals were scored in five of Manchester City's previous Premier League games.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match we will favour the visitors. Manchester City have felt the proximity of first place, from which they now trail by only four points, and it is important for them not to drop points against a representative of the lower part of the table — which is exactly where the home team belong. Tottenham Hotspur are frankly sliding down, and the main problem is their form at home, where they have beaten only Brentford in their last 10 Premier League matches.
We believe Manchester City will settle the matter of the winner already in the first half. Recently the club have been poor in the second halves of matches, while they remain unbeaten in the first 45 minutes in 14 Premier League games (10 wins and 4 draws). In that period the club conceded only two goals in the first half. Manchester City also beat this opponent in the first half in 3 of their last 4 league meetings.
