class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League leaders have been in unstoppable form and we are backing them to continue their superb winning run against Spurs this weekend
Manchester City welcome Tottenham to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League with Pep Guardiola’s men aiming for their 16th consecutive victory in all competitions.
Both sides were in action in midweek in the FA Cup with City recording a comfortable 3-1 success at Swansea, while Spurs were beaten 5-4 at Everton is a dramatic game that went to extra time.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Latest Odds
Jose Mourinho’s side were the last team to beat City in any competition, winning 2-0 back on November 21, yet the north Londoners are badly out of form with just three wins from their last 11 Premier League games.
The visitors are offered at 8/1 (9.00) to claim three points with bet365, while City can be backed at 1/3 (1.33) and the draw at 19/4 (5.75).
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Team News
The Premier League leaders are still without Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Nathan Ake, while Ruben Dias, Fernandinho and Rodri Hernandez will all be assessed to see whether they can return.
Serge Aurier faces a late fitness test to see if there is any chance of him making the game, but Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso remain out.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Mourinho will surely be looking for a reaction from his side following their desperately disappointing FA Cup exit in midweek, although a trip to Manchester to face a rampant City side is the toughest game possible for Spurs.
The north Londoners showed some spirit in midweek in twice coming from behind to force extra time, but generally there has been a timidity and lethargy about Spurs in recent weeks which has led to some insipid performances.
Tottenham’s early season defensive solidity has also dissipated, with the side conceding in nine of their last 11 league clashes, and could be in for another difficult afternoon this weekend against a City side surging with confidence.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Tips and Predictions
Man City to win and score over 2.5 goals is offered at 13/10 (2.30) with bet365 and looks like a strong option, while over 3.5 goals in the game at 6/4 (2.50) could also appeal.
