Man City – Tottenham Premier League Preview

The Premier League champion Manchester City faces Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad in a fixture from the 12th round of the competition. Keep up with us and our Accurate football predictions today. Here we go!

 

For a first time since the arrival of Josep Guardiola, Man City suffered four consecutive losses in all competition. This left the Cityzens five points behind the leader Liverpool – they have some catching up to do. In their last two league games City lost against Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion.

 

City’s biggest problem remains the absence of Rodri – the new Ballon d’Or winner. The Spanish midfielder is just not replaceable in City’s team. And the team’s results since his injury are showing it.

 

Most likely Mateo Kovacic will replace Rodri in the line-up again while Ilkay Gundogan and Savinho are expected to start as well. Meanwhile Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden all missed the international games because of injuries. It’s not clear if they will be ready to play for Man City on Saturday.

 

Tottenham Hotspur are at 10th place in the standings with 16 points won. What Spurs are really lacking right now is consistency – they are winning one game, but they are losing the next. The manager Ange Postecoglou also admitted that it’s the major problem about his team.

 

Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended and missing the next 7 games while the center-back Micky van de Ven is injured. The Brazilian international Richarlison is also not ready to play – Tottenham will have to do without his services.

 

That’s the Accurate football predictions today for the upcoming Premier League fixture between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. City are usually facing some difficulties against Tottenham, but now they are desperate for a win. Pep Guardiola and his players are aware that they can’t allow Liverpool to increase their lead on the top.
