Chance to win a £50 free bet by predicting the outcome of Tottenham Hotspur versus Manchester City in the Premier League | OneFootball

When the Premier League fixtures were announced last July, few would have forecast that this February match up in North London would have pitted 12th placed Tottenham Hotspur against 4th placed Manchester City. But it’s a sign of the struggles both teams have faced this season that they find themselves well short of their preseason targets, and in City’s case a massive 20 points off their customary top spot.

Pep Guardiola’s side had been showing signs of recovery, at least domestically anyway, with three wins in their last four in the league prior to Sunday’s meeting with Liverpool. But a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to the Merseysiders has left the defending champions in the gloom once again. It was a different story for Spurs who ran out comfortable 4-1 winners away at relegation threatened Ipswich Town, but Ange Postecoglou’s team are only now turning the corner after a woeful end to 2024.

One of the highlights of Tottenham’s below par season to date was a 4-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City back in November. It proved to be a bit of a false storm, with the Lilywhites winning just one of their next 11 Premier League games, but served to demonstrate what they are capable of when they play at their best. Spurs fans will be hoping they can find that form again on Wednesday and complete a memorable league double.

Tottenham recorded a 2-1 home win against City in the Carabao Cup last October and sportsbook CopyBet has another home win at 23/10. But it’s worth noting that Manchester City won twice at Spurs last season, in the league and the FA Cup, and they are favourites going into this one at 10/11. The draw is listed at 16/5 but there hasn’t actually been one between these two sides in north London in 16 meetings, stretching all the way back to 2010.

Erling Haaland was the difference between the two sides in this fixture last season, scoring both goals in City’s 2-0 win. The Norwegian missed Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool through injury but is expected to be fit for this one and he’s 10/3 to be first goal scorer. For Spurs, Brennan Johnson made a long awaited return to the first team at the weekend following a spell out injured, and the former Nottingham Forest man bagged a brace against Ipswich to take himself to 14 in all competitions this season. He’s 5/2 to add to that tally on Wednesday night.

It promises to be another entertaining clash between two sides who like to play on the front foot and if you think you can predict who will come out on top then get involved in CopyBet’s latest Free bet competition by submitting your guess on their social channels.
