Hotspur vs Manchester City
Premier League 2019/20
2nd February, 16:30pm BST
New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Spurs vs Manchester City preview
Arguably the most-anticipated game of the Premier League weekend concludes the action on Sunday afternoon when Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City meet at the impressive new stadium in North London.
Manchester City have taken 13 points from a possible 15 as Pep Guardiola’s side look to finish the season on a high and in second place. Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur have started the struggle again in recent weeks; their late winner versus Norwich City ended a four-game winless streak, before conceding a late equaliser at Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Citizens dominated the meeting at the Etihad Stadium back in August but only came away with a 2-2 draw after Gabriel Jesus had a late goal overturned by VAR.
Tottenham’s form has rapidly declined since and haven’t looked comfortably in defence all season. They come up against a Manchester City attack in rampant form – scoring in every game this season and 11 goals in their four Premier League matches this year.
Goals should be on the cards on Sunday afternoon whilst many are expecting an away victory. Those willing to place a bet on this game may want to consider taking advantage of the Coral Promo Code 2020 to make it a risk free wager.

Spurs vs Manchester City Key Stats
6 – Manchester City are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches versus Tottenham Hotspur (W4, D2).
22 – Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in more goals than any other player this season (7 goals, 15 assists).
65 – Manchester City are the league’s highest scorers heading into the weekend.
Spurs vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City are heading into Sunday’s game in fine form, which includes a 4-0 thrashing of Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have won only one of their last five in the league and remain leaky at the back. I am going with the bookmakers on this one and calling an away win.
