Betting on Manchester City
Manchester City missed a great chance to make up some ground in the Premier League title race as they absorbed a humiliating 3-1 defeat to leaders Leicester City on Saturday. It was a disappointing result for the Citizens who slipped six points behind the Foxes at the top of the league table.
The Citizens will look to get their season back on track when they take on Tottenham this coming Sunday. They will fancy their chances of doing just that as they have fared extremely well against Spurs at home of late. Manchester City have won their last five meetings against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium, outscoring them, 16-4.
For Manchester City to extend their dominance against Tottenham, they will need Sergio Aguero to take charge in this contest. The Premier League’s top scorer last season is heating up once again, scoring 13 goals in his last 11 league appearances. Aguero scored a late consolation goal in City’s loss to Leicester on Saturday. He will need to be at his best, though, against a Tottenham defense that has conceded just 10 goals on the road this season, the fewest in the entire Premier League this campaign.
The Citizens are 4-1-1 in their last six Premier League home matches.

Betting on Tottenham
Tottenham extended their winning streak in the Premier League to four matches with a dominant 1-0 victory over Watford on Saturday. Kieran Trippier scored the winning goal for Spurs who remained five points adrift of leaders Leicester City in the EPL title race.
Key to Tottenham’s resurgence has been the excellent form of Dele Alli. He has had a hand in 11 goals in his last 14 Premier League games for Spurs (six goals, five assists). He provided the inspiration off the bench for Tottenham on Sunday, teeing up Trippier for the game-winning goal against Watford.
They will fancy their chances of extending that excellent run against Manchester City this coming Sunday as they have fared extremely well on the road this season. Tottenham are third in the league in points scored away from home this campaign with 23. They have scored a whopping 22 goals in 12 matches played on the road this season. Tottenham will also take comfort in the fact that they have already beaten Manchester City once this season. Spurs stunned City, 4-1, in their first league encounter at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham are 4-0-2 in their last six Premier League away matches.
Writer’s Prediction
