Tottenham vs Manchester City Free Betting Tips
Solid 2nd in the Premier League, Tottenham is making a very good impression at the start of the season. Surprised at home by Everton during the first day, the Spurs have not lost in the league since (5 wins and 2 draws). Just before the international break, they won at the promoted West Bromwich (0-1), thus aligning the 3rd success in a row in the Premier League. Present in Group J of the Europa League, Tottenham is currently at the top of the standings but has the same number of points as the 2nd and 3rd in the pool.
Largely ahead of Liverpool last year, Manchester City is sluggish at the start of the 2020/2021 fiscal year. 10th in the Premier League, the Citizens have a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Not yet developed, they have alternated victories (2) and draws (3) during the last 5 days. After winning on the smallest of margins at Sheffield United (0-1), Pep Guardiola’s men conceded, at home, the division of points against Liverpool just before the international cut (1-1). Manchester City, on the other hand, is intractable in its Champions League group and takes 1st place with 3 successes gleaned in as many matches.
The workforce for Tottenham vs Manchester City
For Tottenham, substitute defender Tanganga is forfeited this weekend as Argentina winger Lamela. Excellent since the start of the season, forward Son (8 league goals) and Kane (7 goals and 8 assists) are indisputable and they could again be associated with Gareth Bale who has honoured his 1st tenure since returning to the club on the last day.
3 important elements are lacking in Manchester City for this shock: they are the striker Aguero, the left side Benjamin Mendy and the experienced Fernandinho, injured. Playmaker De Bruyne and forwards Sterling and Gabriel Jesus are present but the Citizens have only scored 10 goals in the first 7 league games.
