Team News

Tottenham
Man City
  • Lucas Moura and Pape Sarr miss the welcome of Manchester City due to injury.
  • Richarlison remains a doubt for the hosts, but could make the matchday squad.
  • Pedro Porro joined from Sporting on deadline day, though is unlikely to start.
  • John Stones is ruled out for the visitors, who may go with a three-man backline once again.
  • Phil Foden is a doubt, but other than that; Pep Guardiola has a full squad to choose from.
  • Joao Cancelo left for Bayern Munich at the end of January.

Prediction

  • Tottenham followed up their 1-0 win at Fulham with a 3-0 victory at Preston to book their spot in the next round of the FA Cup. Their last defeat in the Premier League came at the hands of Manchester City a little over two weeks' ago.
  • City have won three on the trot after a blip that saw them lose at Southampton and Manchester United. The visitors are yet to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing all four trips here since Spurs' stadium move back in 2019, firing blanks in all four.
  • That being said, City have looked back to their best in recent weeks, so they should end their hoodoo here on Sunday.

  • Not starting with Kevin De Bruyne was a strange decision from Pep.

  • @Marbella I'm not one of his dumb haters, but he has lost the plot. If he doesn't leave by himself, the Sheikh will probably fire him in the Summer.

  • @Sputnik No doubt Mauricio Pochettino will be hovering around looking for an EPL team.

  • @Marbella For sure. If we assume that Guardiola leaves, Pochettino's options would be Tottenham or City.

  • I expect spurs and Conte to have learned lessons from the last game 1-1

  • Cancelo on loan to Bayern, De Bruyne left on the bench...Weird decisions, mr. Guardiola...

  • @hellreaper A coach who has no use for Cancelo is a coach who has too many options to choose from.

  • Harry Kane scores against the Premier League champions to become Tottenham Hotspur's all-time record goalscorer with 267 goals! The goal also means that he becomes just one of three (with Shearer and Rooney) to score 200 EPL goals. By contrast, Erling Haaland didn't even take a shot or get a touch in the box. Apparently it’s the first time that Haaland hasn't had a single shot in a Premier League game.

  • City won’t miss the chance to rein arsenal in. Spuds not good enough to stop them.

  • Fraudiola OUT!

  • When Man City do finally win at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium it will probably be by a hat full but that day is not today.

  • Any1 knows the reason why De Bruyne was on the Bench originally? Feels like a weird call, to not start him in such a game.

  • @DanInter No but he's been rather poor since the WC, especially by his standards.

  • Looking like this, City's defence is one of the worst defences in the Premier League.

  • 2-1 Tot

  • Bet W1

  • Congratulations Harry Kane!

  • I wonder if there will be many Arsenal fans hoping Spurs win or draw ? :)

  • UNDER ALL DAY! Nobody scores on Sunday

  • City are obviously favourites but they were favourites on all four of their previous visits and they lost every one without even scoring a goal. City to at least score on this occasion. COYS! Tottenham 2-2 City

  • With Conte recovering from gall bladder surgery, Christian Stellini will take charge of Tottenham on the touch line. It'll be interesting to see if makes any difference. Tottenham might actually play with a bit more freedom.

  • Pressure for both teams here it wont be easy for either team, I'm going for a stale nil nil , hope I'm wrong , come on city. under 2.5 goals , over 5.5 corners , over 0.5 cards

  • Over 2.5 goals.

  • No way man city will play this kind of formation, with this players. Lewis central midfielder. Are you drunk ?

  • @Barele LOL!

  • W2 + BTTS

  • BTTS

  • 1-4
