Rampant Man City set for high-scoring victory Spurs
4537

The late kick-off in the Premier League on Saturday sees high-flying Manchester City welcome an indifferent Tottenham Hotspur side to the Etihad Stadium.

A phenomenal unbeaten streak has enabled Man City to open up a nine-point gap at the summit of the Premier League table.

By contrast, a run of below-par results has seen Tottenham slip to eighth – seven points outside the top four and a whopping 27 points behind Man City.

Pep Guardiola’s men head into Saturday’s clash on the back of a thumping 5-0 victory over Sporting in the Champions League.

Tuesday’s victory means that Man City have picked up 12 wins and a draw in their past 13 encounters across all competitions.

The Cityzens last tasted defeat all the way back on December 7, with RB Leipzig claiming a 2-1 victory on that occasion.

Guardiola’s side have avoided defeat in each of their past 15 Premier League games, too, emphasizing their dominance.

Having won each of their previous ten home games in all competitions, Man City will be confident of downing Spurs this weekend.

Between November and January, Tottenham enjoyed a nine-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. However, a lot has changed since then.

Spurs have lost each of their last three Premier League outings, falling to Chelsea, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It is also worth pointing out that Antonio Conte’s men have conceded at least two goals in each of their previous four Premier League encounters.

Trends show that all of Tottenham’s past six away games in the Premier League have all been drawn at half-time.

Head-to-head: Across the past seven Premier League meetings between Man City and Spurs, both teams have registered three wins.

Five of their last eight encounters in all competitions have produced over 1.5 goals, meaning we should see plenty of action on Saturday.

Team news: Manchester City could be without the injured trio of Gabriel Jesus, Jack Grealish and Cole Palmer on Saturday.

Tottenham also have three injury doubts at the moment, with Oliver Skipp, Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga on the sidelines.

Not only are Man City playing amazing football at the moment, but Tottenham are also struggling for consistency.

For that reason, Forebet predicts that Man City will score over 2.5 goals on their way to dispatching Spurs.
