Contributor’s Pick

According to Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur H2H Stats, Manchester City have lost three, drawn one and won only one of their previous five matches against Tottenham Hotspur. However, Pep Guardiola’s side come into this game on the back of fifteen consecutive wins and have all but clinched the Premier League title by opening up a considerable lead at the top of the table.

Manchester City have scored at least 2 goals in their last ten matches in the Premier League, and there have been over 2.5 goals in 11 of Manchester City’s last 13 matches against Tottenham in all competitions, so it should be a high-scoring affair.

Although Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in their last two trips to the Etihad stadium, Manchester City are likely to be victorious. It should be a closely contested affair but Manchester City are likely to win 3-1 tomorrow.
