--------------------------------
Manchester City and Tottenham both look to continue their winning starts to the Premier League season as they meet at the Etihad. City dominated Wolverhampton 4-0 away, while Spurs began Thomas Frank’s tenure with a 3-0 home win over Burnley.
Team Analysis:
Manchester City started the Premier League season with a commanding 4-0 win over Wolves, highlighted by debutant Tijjani Reijnders' goal and assist, while Erling Haaland scored twice. Despite the strong start, Pep Guardiola stressed the squad size is still too large and needs trimming. City tops the league early but has struggled historically against Tottenham, winning only four of their last 12 meetings.
Tottenham, under new coach Thomas Frank, opened with a 3-0 win over Burnley, boosted by Richarlison's goals and Mohammed Kudus’ assists. Spurs aim to win their first two league games since 2021-22 and break a poor run against established teams. After a surprising 4-0 Etihad win last season, they seek back-to-back away wins against City for the first time in over a decade.
Player Situation:
Manchester City will miss key players Kovacic, Phillips, and Savinho due to injury, while Rodri, Ederson, Foden, and Gvardiol are doubts after recent absences. Ederson is unlikely to play, so James Trafford may continue in goal. Guardiola faces choices in defense and midfield, with Reijnders aiming to continue his strong debut form and Haaland leading the attack.
Tottenham have several injured players, including Maddison and Kulusevski, but Bissouma and Udogie might return. Coach Frank may shift to a five-man defense, with options like Danso, Romero, and wing-backs Porro and Spence. Midfield likely features Bentancur pushing for a spot alongside Palhinha and Sarr, while Kudus and Richarlison remain the key attackers.
Result Prediction:
The last four Premier League matches between Man City and Tottenham at the Etihad have been high-scoring and exciting, with the away team scoring at least twice each time. Tottenham, led by Frank who has won at the Etihad before, have the quality to challenge Man City. However, after a strong performance against Wolves, Man City are favored to narrowly win again at home.
Predicted Result: Manchester City 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
