Difficult Clash Between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur

The second round of the English Premier League brings a series of high-profile matches, but the one most fans are eager to watch is the clash between Manchester City, who opened the season with a commanding 4-0 win over Wolverhampton, and visitors Tottenham Hotspur, who also started strongly with a 3-0 victory over Burnley.

City will be looking to erase painful memories against Spurs, particularly last season’s crushing defeat that cost them the Premier League crown, when the London side stunned them 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium in November. That match was part of a disastrous run for City, where they managed just one win in 13 games.

This time, City face another tough test against a side that has become something of a bogey team for them in recent years. Tottenham have lost just once in their last four visits to Manchester, scoring at least two goals in each of those games.

All eyes will also be on Spurs’ Danish manager Thomas Frank to see how he fares against the Spanish “genius” Pep Guardiola, especially after coming close to leading his side to UEFA Super Cup glory against Paris Saint-Germain before losing in the dying moments.

Here are the key stats to help you predict the correct score and win big with Betway:

Manchester City have won just 4 of their last 12 Premier League encounters with Tottenham Hotspur (D2 L6), though they did beat them 1-0 in their most recent clash in February. The last time City managed back-to-back league wins over Spurs was between December 2017 and April 2019 (4 straight victories).
Tottenham have won 2 of their last 4 league games at the Etihad (D1 L1), which is more than they managed in their previous 11 visits combined (D2 L8). After their 4-0 victory there last season, Spurs are aiming for consecutive away league wins over City for the first time since May 2010.
The last four Premier League encounters between City and Spurs at the Etihad have produced 21 goals (9 for City, 12 for Spurs), with the visitors scoring at least twice in all four games. The last team to score 2+ goals in five consecutive league away games against City was Sunderland, between 1980 and 2000.
Since the start of April, Manchester City have collected more points than any other Premier Leagues side (26) and remain the only unbeaten team in that span (W8 D2). They also boast the most clean sheets (7).
Pep Guardiola has lost nine matches to Tottenham in his managerial career, more than against any side except Liverpool (10).
Erling Haaland has scored 48 goals in 48 Premier League home appearances for Manchester City.
Tijjani Reijnders scored once and assisted another in City’s 4-0 win over Wolves on his Premier League debut. No player has both scored and assisted in each of his first two Premier League matches for City. The Dutchman, or his teammate Rayan Cherki, could become the first player since Emmanuel Adebayor in August 2009 to score in both of his first two league matches for the club.
