After the last international break, the ninth game day is on the agenda in the English Premier League this weekend. The football fans can look forward to two absolute top games. On Sunday evening, championship leaders Leicester City will visit Anfield and meet the reigning champions. Already on Saturday, the cracker rises between Tottenham and Manchester City on White Hart Lane.
The English football upper house is currently more balanced than seldom before. Between the leaders from Leicester and the table-15. Leeds United are just eight points. In the middle of this group is the Guardiola team from Manchester, who is only in tenth place in the current Premier League table.
In the away game with the Citizens, the pressure on the Guardiola team is huge and for the guests basically, only a complete success counts. The best bookmakers offer odds of less than 2.00 for guests between Tottenham and Manchester City. Fans of English football will find further interesting previews and game analyzes in the Premier League category this weekend.
Tottenham – stats & current form
At the start of the new season, Tottenham conceded a home defeat against Everton, but since then things have been going according to plan for Jose Mourinho’s team. In the current form table, the Spurs can even be found in the first place. After the opening defeat, Tottenham celebrated five wins and drew twice. No other Premier League team can look back on a longer streak without defeat than the capital city club from London.
Kan & Son – currently the best offensive duo in the league
The run of success in recent weeks is mainly based on the outstanding performances of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son. The two offensive players are currently the best storm duo in the entire league. Harry Kane has already been directly involved in an unbelievable 23 goals in 14 games across all competitions this season. His congenial strike partner Son also already has 15 points and thus the two players lead the scorer list in England.
If the prodigal son Gareth Bale approaches his top form at his old place of work in the coming weeks, Tottenham will have an absolutely outstanding offensive trio that will be hard to defend.
Just one home win in four games
Mourinho teams are generally considered to be extremely strong at home, Tottenham has not yet been able to underline the evidence of this thesis in the current season. Only one of the four previous home games ended with a Spurs win. In addition to the Everton defeat, the team drew against Newcastle United and in the derby against West Ham. In view of the so far manageable home performances, a tip on the home side is not necessarily the best choice between Tottenham and Manchester City.
However, after three league wins in a row, the Mourinho team is bursting with self-confidence. For the first time since February 2019 – at that time still under head coach Pochettino – Tottenham could celebrate four Premier League wins in a row. In terms of personnel, the team has to do without right-back Matt Doherty, who was quarantined during the international break with a positive test result.
The probable lineup of Tottenham:
Lloris – Reguilon, Dier, Alderweireld, Aurier – Sissoko, Höjbjerg – Son, Ndombele, Bale – Kane

Manchester City – stats & current form
Although the Citizens deliver the weakest start to the season in many years, the expiring contract of coach Pep Guardiola was extended until 2023 this week. After Guardiola has always taken a sabbatical at his previous positions after three or four years, he now wants to stay long-term. The Citizens’ big dream of pot has not yet come to an end. More than the quarter-finals has never been possible.
Offensive is jammed
In the premier class, Manchester City has so far not been naked and holds a maximum of nine points. In the domestic championship, however, the start of the season is by no means satisfactory. Tenth place in the table is a pure disappointment.
The big problem compared to the last few years is on the offensive. With Gabriel Jesus and Kun Agüero, Manchester City only have two centre forwards available, both of whom were injured at times. There is no shortage of offensive players – mostly wings – but the team still suffers from jamming.
Only ten goals were scored in the first seven league games in 2020/21, the last time the team had a worse result in 2010/11 with nine goals from seven games. Last year, the Skyblues scored 27 goals in their first seven games.
Five “under 2.5” in series
After the violent 2: 5 defeat against Leicester City on matchday three, the Guardiola team managed to stabilize the defensive and conceded only three goals in the last five league games, but only one goal was scored in each game.
The last five games of the Guardiola team ended with an under 2.5. Despite this fact, in the top match between Tottenham and Manchester City on Saturday, odds of well over 2.00 are offered for the prediction of the under 2.5.
The probable lineup of Manchester City:
Ederson – Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, Walker – Gündogan, Rodri – Sterling, de Bruyne, Torres – Gabriel Jesus

Tottenham vs Manchester City Direct comparison / H2H balance
Last season, Jose Mourinho celebrated a 2-0 win over Manchester City at home at White Hart Lane, so the Spurs ended a series of six Premier League games without success. Although the Citizens have had a clearly positive record against the capital team in the recent past, Manchester City has only lost more Premier League games against Chelsea than against Spurs.

Tottenham vs Manchester City Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
Tottenham against Manchester City is not only the duel between two absolutely top teams but also the 23rd game between Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. The Special One Mourinho has already suffered ten defeats and has not lost to any other coach more often. Although the current form speaks clearly for the home side, according to the betting base odds comparison, the guests are the favourites.
Key facts – Tottenham vs Manchester City tips
- Longest run without a loss – Tottenham in seven games without a bust
- After six Premier League games without a win, Tottenham prevailed at White Hart Lane last year
- Just ten goals in seven PL games for the Citizens – 17 fewer goals than last year at this point in the season
The current odds on the three-way market between Tottenham and Manchester City are not really understandable. Tottenham is in great shape and although the Citizens are stronger, this clear favourite role is not justified.
This gives the opportunity in the duel between Tottenham and Manchester City to consider the tip on the double chance 1X. However, the bet on under 2.5 seems even more interesting. Tottenham is often much more defensive in such top games and Manchester City currently has problems on the offensive. There is definitely a value for the odds offered.
