Match Facts

Manchester City sits 2nd with 46 points, trailing Arsenal by four. Tottenham has slipped to 14th with 28 points amid a challenging run.

Despite City's quality, Pep Guardiola has lost eight league games against Spurs—more than against any other opponent in his career.

Tottenham faces a massive availability crisis with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Mohammed Kudus all ruled out.

Erling Haaland leads the league with 20 goals, 11 of which have been match-openers, helping City maintain early control in games.

Despite their lower ranking, Tottenham completed the double over City last season and won the reverse fixture 2-0 at the Etihad in August.

Predicted Lineup

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Spence, Romero, Danso, Udogie; Palhinha, Gallagher; Odobert, Simons, Kolo Muani; Solanke.

Manchester City (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O'Reilly; Rodri; Cherki, Silva, Reijnders, Semenyo; Haaland.

Prediction of AI

Manchester City is the heavy favorite given Tottenham's long injury list and City's drive to reclaim the top spot. While the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has historically been a difficult venue for the Citizens, the absence of Spurs' primary creative outlets suggests City will dominate possession and eventually find the breakthrough. Score Prediction: Tottenham 0 - 2 Manchester City.
