After defeating Man City twice and Manchester United three times in the 2024-2025 season, Tottenham could become the first club to defeat both Manchester giants three times in a season.
This will not be too big a challenge for Tottenham, as they have won 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League. After the injury storm passed, many key players recovered, Tottenham's form gradually improved.
Coach Postecoglou and his team are consolidating their 12th place in the rankings. However, that position is still unacceptable for a club of Spurs' stature.
On the other side, Man City just lost to Liverpool with a score of 0-2, but still maintained their top 4 position on the rankings. However, Pep Guardiola's team still showed some positive points when controlling the ball very well.
But with Erling Haaland injured, the Citizens' attack shows a deadlock. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions, while extending their streak of poor results against the Big Six this season. Except for Chelsea, they have not won a single match against a big team in England.
away, Man City played quite badly. They have won just two of their last nine away games. Both of those victories came against teams at risk of relegation, Leicester City and Ipswich Town. Therefore, the defending champions must be careful when traveling to North London.
Expected lineup
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Maddison, Bentancur, Sarr; Kulusevski, Johnson, Son
Man City: Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Silva, Doku; Marmoush
