Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City Preview

As Jose Mourinho's side host defending champions Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the game promises to be an exciting affair as two top-six sides go head to head. While the Cityzens are resigned to losing the league title to Liverpool, they will be keen to consolidate second spot in the league standings and give a good account of themselves, after drawing the reverse fixture 2-2 at the Etihad Stadium.

Spurs, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold under Mourinho and will look to get a result to kick start their season, with the hope of making a late push for a UEFA Champions League spot. New signing Steven Bergwijn could be set to feature for the home side after swapping the Eredivisie for the Premier League and the Dutchman could be one of the players to watch out for.

Tip 2 - Both teams to score: Yes

Tip 3 - Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over 2.5
