2327
The last 16 of the EFL Cup serves up an exciting all-Premier League showdown on Wednesday evening, with Tottenham Hotspur hosting Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have yet to taste defeat across all competitions this season, while Spurs have struggled for consistency.
Will Man City extend their unbeaten run? Or could Ange Postecoglou’s men upset the odds? Read on to find out what Forebet’s predictive analytics model forecasts.
Let’s start by looking at the hosts, Tottenham Hotspur, who suffered a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday, handing the Eagles their first league win of the season.
Tottenham have now lost two of their last three Premier League matches, leaving them eighth in the table – 10 points behind leaders Man City.
It is also worth noting that Spurs have lost four of their previous seven league games, and they scraped past Coventry City with a 2-1 victory in the EFL Cup.
That said, Postecoglou’s side have won five of their six home games across all competitions, so they will be hopeful of frustrating their visitors on Wednesday.
As for Manchester City, they claimed a 1-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, but they should have scored more after racking up 22 shots on home soil.
Guardiola’s men have now won each of their last five matches across all competitions, scoring 15 goals in the process (3 goals per game).
When you look at the bigger picture, Man City have won 10 of their 13 games this season, including a 2-1 victory over Watford in the EFL Cup.
Away from home, City have registered five wins and one draw this term, scoring 16 goals on their travels (2.7 goals per game).
Head-to-head: Manchester City have won each of their last two matches against Tottenham without conceding a goal, picking up 1-0 and 2-0 victories earlier this year.
Guardiola’s side also secured a clean-sheet victory when these two sides last met in the EFL Cup, winning 1-0 at the Etihad back in 2021.
Team news: The hosts have reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of Wednesday’s clash, although Son Heung-min and Djed Spence remain in the treatment room.
The visitors are still without a number of key players, as Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Kyle Walker and Oscar Bobb are sidelined through injury.
If recent meetings between Spurs and Man City are anything to go by, Guardiola’s side will likely advanced to the quarter-finals.
Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts that Manchester City will score over 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to dispatching Tottenham.
