Man City v Tottenham

Manchester City vs Spurs Preview

Manchester City have another chance to return to winning ways on home soil at their Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon when they entertain Tottenham with City perhaps feeling a little hard done by as VAR ruled out what seemed like a perfectly legitimate goal against Liverpool last weekend which would have put Pep Guardiola's side in control of the fixture, while Tottenham were dealt a third consecutive defeat on the trot after losing 2-1 at home to Aston Villa.

Nevertheless, that point against Liverpool extended The Citizens' unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games overall which includes picking up three wins and being involved in two draws; the victories being gained over Brighton, Manchester United and a 6-1 humiliation of Bournemouth also helping City into second place in the Premier League table where they trail the current leaders, Arsenal, by a single point ahead of this weekend's action.

Manchester City had earlier started out of the blocks in impressive fashion at the start of the campaign by winning each of their opening six matches on the trot which included home wins collected against Newcastle United, Fulham and Nottingham Forest, while the bigger picture underlines Manchester City's dominance at the Etihad Stadium, winning 15 of their last 16 home games.

Tottenham had seemingly looked to be cruising to all three points at home against Aston Villa last weekend as Spurs were heading into half-time 1-0 up but Villa equalised just before half-time to level things up at the break.

Villa then slowly but surely took control of the game and Tottenham slumped to a third defeat on the trot as a result which followed previous disappointing losses to Chelsea and Wolves, and now the north London club are in danger of throwing away their great start under new manager, Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham had put together a solid and impressive looking 10-match unbeaten start to this Premier League campaign which included no fewer than eight wins in the process and notable wins registered against the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool in particular.

After producing a poor finish to last season away from home with just one win from their final eight outings on the road, Tottenham had begun their travels brightly enough as they were unbeaten in their opening six away games but the defeat at Wolves last time out on their travels perhaps suggest that the soft underbelly is still evident in Tottenham's make-up.

Manchester City v Tottenham Verdict
